| Album Info: | The Milwaukee Road's line between Prairie du Chien and Madison was another abandonment candidate in the early 1980s to be rescued by the WRRTC and is today operated by the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad. The line has its western terminus on St. Feriole Island in Prairie du Chien, crosses the BNSF mainline at Crawford Junction, winds its way through the scenic Wisconsin River valley, and cuts through the UW-Madison campus before joining WSOR's Reedsburg Subdivision at Broom Street, which trains coming off the line take to get to the yard at Johnson Street (seen in the album "Ex-C&NW Tracks Around Madison"). |
