Last train to Fort?
UP local LPA18 works out of the lonely UP outpost at Jefferson Junction, WI., and serves a part of the original CNW trackage in Wisconsin, which ran from Janesville north to Oshkosh. The line began to be chopped up in CNW days. However, a section of track in the middle, known as the Clyman sub and accessed to the UP system at the aforementioned hamlet north end, works as far south as historic Fort Atkinson, WI., on an occassional basis. Fort, as it's known to locals, is the end of track, a red board is placed as the track enters the north end of town from Jefferson Junction to serve a scrap iron customer, Lorman Brothers. On this day, the train came to Fort, and I was able to snap a few photos of a rare and endangered move. Many say this part of the track is next to be pulled..
