I will never forget the Chicago Northwestern. They Ran through my backyard. I learned so very quickly about trains and repair work being done. Just to hear the sound of the train coming. And to know the signal was timed. Thank you for sharing this. 😊
Good work to start off with the power at Wisconsin Rapids. The SB to begin the mainline action is the inbound sand empty of S774 heading bound to Taylor on the CN's Whitehall Sub. What catch of that NB with GTW GP9R 4619 in tow 4th on M343! Beautifully done getting the diesel oil load of U754 with CSXT ES44AH 3051 and CSXT CW44AC 443 2nd & 3rd along with brand new ET44AC of CN 3288 that was recently delivered in Memphis, TN a couple of days back. Nice job getting the M357 with some cars carrying the trailer frames on the top with CN 2304 to lead it and CN 3822 as rear DPU. The next SB should be M342 that M357 met at JO. Beautifully done BJ! Glad you had a great day of catches.
Nice one BJ! That is M340 to begin, the crude oil empty is U267 with the NS 3601 for I've seen that through Ladysmith, CN 5744 led on Q117. Well done viewing the power at Point! Next train was X340 with the CN 2251 to lead. CN 5709 led on B731, I got that train in Ladysmith also. The diesel oil empty led by CN 2979 is U759. Your last train that had CN 5676 lead is M356. Good work out there.
Very nice…images reminiscent of 70s railroading anywhere in the U.S. One critique: a quick brush and puff of air across the slides before you scan ‘em.
The NON UNION Roads don't matter as much. They were born from the blood of hard working union workers. So no love lost . Especially the I&M Rail link Montana Rail link .
I have some images of the line in my mind. Live only 20 or so miles from Union Center. I do remember clearly the hopper sitting on the siding waiting for the H&NE to pick up in Union Center .... after the railroad closed.
My memories of the Milwaukee Railroad go back to the the 50’s in Jackson Minnesota With the steam engines and wonderful Memories my Grandpa worked for the Railroad gif over 50 years and was in charge of the Jackson facility My Dad also worked For the MR until it was closed down What great memories I have. I wish They had made a museum out the facility In Jackson It would have been awesome
