This former C&NW coaling tower is located at
Clyman Jct, WI on the Adams Subdivision. |

Sorry for the picture inside a picture but the gondola
messed up a closer coming shot of this Road Railer train with 103 trailers.
This was the quest for the day. There were two other fans at this location
waiting for this train. |
 |
The UP SD70 is eastbound and will meet a westbound
local about 1/2 mile down the line. |
 |
The local is visible in the distance as the trailers
continue their journey east. |

These two wig-wags ONCE protected this rural crossing.
If you look carefully, you can see the foundations for the new flasher
and gates which were installed less than a week after these photos were
taken. |
 |
A short distance from the crossing with the two wig-wags
was this wig-wag that J. David Ingles is leaning against. |

Here we see the speeding Amtrak train #8 on the Canadian
Pacific east of Columbus, WI. |
 |
Here Amtrak train #7 is entering the south track of the
double that runs from Watertown to west of Columbus, WI. |
 |
The day began at Clyman Jct. and ends at Jefferson
Jct. on a branch south of Clyman Jct. Here we see UP #1244. |
 |
This caboose is used on this branch. At one time the
track where the locos are sitting ran from Milwaukee to Madison. Today
it is just a switching stub that deadends behind the photographer after
serving a large malt plant, the main reason the branch is still in service. |
 |
Here is another view of the crossing of the north-south
branch that once ran from Fond du Lac to Janesville, WI and the east-west
branch that once ran from Milwaukee to Madison, WI. |
