| Title: |
CN 2275 and 2770 take the SW connection with M344 heading south on the Valley |
| Description: |
Superior Sub runs left to right across the foreground, diamond with the Valley Sub is just visible in the lower left. Perhaps unique for a railroad diamond in Wisconsin in this day and age, connector tracks in all four quadrants are still in place and in service at Junction City, along with RTC-controlled sidings just to the south (visible ahead and to the left of 2275) on the Valley, and west on the Superior. |

No, THAT way! |
| Description: |
The crew has cut off 2275, to my confusion. To my further confusion, they proceeded to wye it to have it facing long-hood-forward westbound on the Whitehall Sub. After consulting with another area railfan, the only reason I can think of is that 2770 is not PTC-equipped, and they wanted 2275 facing forward to eventually lead the train east again and back into PTC territory. |

| Title: |
M344 creaks around the curve on the connection to the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW) |
| Description: |
The ex-GBW main continues to the right (east), but stub-ends just west of the former 17th Ave. N crossing (south of the two existing RR crossings on that road). About 2,800' of the line is removed up to just east of 10th Ave. N, where a tiny stub formed by the southwest quadrant connecting track to the ex-MILW Valley Sub still exists for some reason. Then the line is removed through the former location of the diamond (done almost immediately upon the acquision of the GBW/FRVR by WC in 1993). Additional connecting tracks on the east side of the ex-MILW line allow for service as far as Plover. |
