| Title: |
Gateway to Wisconsin |
| Description: |
The two GP60s bracketing two covered hoppers trundle away. Just beyond the leftward curve in the distance, this ex-Milwaukee Road line once crossed the C&NW line which ran from Harvard (and Chicago) north to Janesville (or direct to Madison via Evansville off a split at Afton). The train will use a small remaining portion of that line to access customers at South Beloit. |

YJA65 in "push-pull" configuration crosses Blackhawk Boulevard |
| Description: |
Just south of the barely-marked Behr spur crossing, the "main" line's (ex-C&NW Chicago/Harvard-Janesville/Madison) crossing of Blackhawk Blvd. has four signals on the shoulders and median. Interestingly, photos from the C&NW era show there were gates here then - a rare example of crossing protection being "downgraded." |

Distant Glimmer |
| Description: |
UP had a large number of two-bay covered hoppers stored up to their end-of-track at MP 119 south (RR east) of Brooklyn, WI on the segment of the former C&NW Chicago-Twin Cities line between Janesville and Madison. The line is out-of-service west of there through Brooklyn, then operated by Wisconsin and Southern out of Madison. They pulled these in two sections in early May, 2021. This was the second such move, of 77 cars. Unfortunately, due to work I couldn't get them on the extremely rarely used mileage west of the Landmark Co-op through the city of Evansville, catching up just as the train was coming past Landmark. |
