Target in sight! |
| Description: |
I got a heads up that CP train 281 had a neat lashup on this day. I calculated I could just beat them to Portage after I got out of work, and sure enough, just a few minutes after I arrived they appeared around the curve! |

288 meets 281 |
| Description: |
As the older standard cab EMDs and fallen flag paint schemes get ever harder to find with time, the variety of foreign power keeps this line interesting. As 281's lashup proves, standard cab EMDs can still be found on occasion, as well! |

UP 1843 and three helpers muscle CP train 281 back into motion |
| Description: |
Over 10,000' of train was no problem for this quartet of EMDs. Seconds after the power crossed the road, still moving at a fairly sedate pace, I packed up and left, thinking I could easily beat them to the next crossing west. Boy, was I wrong! |

Brown Stick Season and Stick Rail |
| Description: |
It has been a relatively pleasant March by Wisconsin standards, but we've still got another month or so before the trees start to leaf out in earnest. This is UP LTA-41, trundling along the ancient ex-C&NW jointed rail of the Winona Subdivision between Wyeville and Tunnel City. It's down to a once-weekly extra board job out of Adams (eastbound counterpart LTA-42 runs on Fridays). |

Waiting |
| Description: |
The C&NW's Adams-Winona, MN line and Milwaukee Road's (later SOO/CP's) Chicago-Twin Cities line ran in close proximity from here to just east of La Crosse. In 1973, C&NW's tunnel collapsed and they soon abandoned their line west of there, and obtained trackage rights over the Milwaukee Road to access Winona. That arrangement continues to this day with UP and CP. Here LTA-41 must wait for eastbound CP train 470 before entering the single-track Tomah Sub. |

Wasting No Time |
| Description: |
Before 470's tail end had even cleared the switch, LTA-41 was on the move toward the junction with the Tomah Sub. Just beyond the junction point and the signal ahead of the train is the east portal of the tunnel, frustratingly JUST out of reach of being shootable from public property. With the leaves off the trees, I could just barely glimpse it from Flag Avenue. |

New Route, Same Destination |
| Description: |
Well, not exactly new. C&NW and now UP trains have been utilizing the Milwaukee Road/SOO/CP line from Tunnel City to access Winona, MN for nearly fifty nears now, since C&NW's tunnel collapsed in the early 1970s. The embankment carrying the abandoned C&NW right-of-way is plainly visible in the left background. |
