End of the End of the Line |
| Description: |
The WSOR served a co-op just south of here until a couple years prior to this photo, when it ceased receiving rail service. The rails were removed from the crossing of State Highway 28 a few blocks south. South of there, they continue to serve a cannery (Seneca Foods) and Mayville White Lime on the line from Iron Ridge. |

Brookfield Junction |
| Description: |
The overgrown track in the foreground is the Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad's original route via Waukesha, Milton and Madison. With the exception of this section from the junction with the present-day Canadian Pacific mainline seen in the background (former Milwaukee and Watertown Railroad) to Waukesha, most of the line is still operated by the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad. |

Disused for decades |
| Description: |
Not sure exactly when this section went out of service, or why it has been seemingly forgotten and not torn up. The Milwaukee Road still had local service from Brookfield to Waukesha into the early '80s. |

Former Milwaukee Road depot |
| Description: |
With my parents posed in front of it. The depot has been redeveloped into a strip mall housing several professional offices and commercial outlets. The track has been out of service since 1998, and although it doesn't look bad here apart from the rusty rail tops, it becomes heavily overgrown on the other side of the crossing to the right. |

Abandoned ex-C&NW line looking south across Union Avenue |

This line ran by the passenger depot on Pennsylvania Avenue. Only a few hundred yards at the north end are still used to serve as a spur for one customer. Parts of the line are removed, while others are rusty and overgrown like this. At right is a partially dismantled Griswold rotating stop sign crossing signal. |

Depot museum and balloon track remnant overview |
| Description: |
The Milwaukee Road (now WSOR's) short branch line to Fox Lake, Wisconsin used to end in a circular balloon track to serve freight customers as well as the passenger depot. Although most of the line is still in place, it is used only for car storage, and the balloon track has been abandoned. However, the depot has been turned into a museum, and a short segment of the balloon track and one of the Milwaukee Road-style crossbucks for the grade crossing have been left in place in front of it. |
