Viewing Album:  Canadian Pacific ex-MILW Mainline 2007-2009
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:3/15/2007 - 12/31/2009
Album Info:My first three years of railfanning the Canadian Pacific's Tomah Subdivision and Watertown Subdivision, part of their Chicago to Twin Cities mainline across Wisconsin. This is one of the busier rail lines in Wisconsin and the only one with regular Amtrak service. Some days it seems like all you see is CP's red, widecab GEs, but patience and luck will yield a wide variety of classic and colorful diesel power.

Title:  CP 8804 on #283 westbound has MNN 1356 dead in tow
Description:  The ex-CN/GTW Geep is fresh from the WSOR paint shop at Horicon, bound for Thief River Falls, MN. 283 was a huge train and the single GEVO was struggling a bit. The crew probably wouldn't have minded being able to cut in an extra 1,750 HP.

Red Signals and Wild Turkeys - Portage Junction
Title:  Red Signals and Wild Turkeys - Portage Junction
Description:  From the Wauona Trail crossing, looking (RR) west. We're on the siding, main to the left, M&P Sub (branch to Madison) on the far left. Heading off to the right is the "old line" from Milwaukee that ran via Horicon, abandoned west of Cambria. A small stub remains on the Portage end to service one customer, Meigs. By the signal mast on the far left, a spur off the M&P dropped down a steep hill and then ran alongside Mullett Street to serve Alter Trading (a scrap/recycling yard). This was still in use at the time of the photo, but would be out of service and dismantled by the end of 2015. In the distance is the Highway 33 bridge. Way, waaaay back in the day, the (original) Soo Line's "P-Line" from Stevens Point would also have connected to the MILW in this area, but I can't tell where the right-of-way would have been.
