The railroad ran north up First Street in Ilwaco. A published photo shows the railroad's Ilwaco facilities, including a gallows turntable and elevated watering trough, were located on the southwest corner of the intersection of First and Spruce streets.〔Feagans, at 28 with photo from Mrs. Wilson collection〕 The depot was built nearby on Spruce Street. A siding was built for the Ilwaco Mill and Lumber Company.〔Feagans, at 37〕 A published photo shows the passenger depot on the west side of First Street, at a point 14.8 miles (23.8 km) from the Ilwaco Depot to Nahcotta.〔Feagans, at 78〕 The Ilwaco freight depot was in a different building.
