Crossing County Rd. G |
Description: |
There are three signalized grade crossings on the line between the ballast transload and the junction with the main at Watertown. Two of them are some of the few remaining in southern Wisconsin, even on branch lines, with the old-school 8" diameter incandescent lights. |

CP 6073 about to cross Gypsy Road |
Description: |
This is the second-to-last crossing on the line headed east before it joins the Watertown Sub main. I set up at the last crossing, too, but a car pulling right up to the stop line to wait for the train messed up my shot. The chase of this train continues in the album "Canadian Pacific ex-MILW Mainline 2017-2019." |
