The original 1901 depot has since been moved approximately 10 miles from its original location in downtown Sturtevant to a park in Franksville, WI. Wikipedia has an excellent description of the depot. I had an opportunity to ride the Amtrak Hiawatha service from Chicago to Milwaukee Airport early one morning. At the Sturtevent station, about 15 to 20 people alighted the train, indicating that it is being used by commuters to travel to Milwaukee, about 26 miles north.
