Milwaukee 543 |
Description: |
The Mineral Point Zinc Company shipped thousands of cars out of Mineral Point in the early 1900s, but by the 1920s the zinc and lead market had collapsed and by 1935, the facilities were removed. Mineral Point was a busy place in the 1920's: a 1926 employee timetable shows 5 eastbound and 5 westbound scheduled trains!! In addition, there uere two MP&N trains daily. On a Sunday afternoon in April, 1978, the Local is leaving Mineral Point with five 55 ton hoppers that brought in sand and gravel from Janesville for Ivey Construction Company. A large mound of mine tailings reminds us of Mineral Points past. |

MILW SD10 544 |
Description: |
MILW SD10 544, Bensenville, Illinois, April 9, 1986, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in October 1953 (c/n 18309) on EMD Order 6516 as MILW SD7 2223, later renumbered 523. When it was rebuilt into a SD10, it was renumbered 544, classed as 18.5-ERS-6 (reflecting the increase in horsepower from the as-delivered 1500 to 1850), and later became DME 544. The Milwaukee Road rebuilt seventeen [D-7's and four SD-9's starting in late 1974 and continuing until January 1976, designating the 21 rebuilt locomotives as SD-10's, classed 18-ERS-6 (1800 horsepowdr - E(MD) Road Switcher - 6 axles). The boxy structure on the roof behind the cab is a Horst air filter, which most of the rebuilt units had, but the last six (556-561. received a lower profile Farr air filter. Also during the rebuilding process, the air reservoirs were changed from a vertical stacked arrangement to horizontal to keep them out of harms way in the event of a derailment. |

Description: |
SD10 547 has three empty hoppers that it will exchange for three loads at Avalon. Once back in Janesville, the crew will head out the Mineral Point branch as far as Darlington. This route was once known as the "J Line" built from Rondout to Janesville in 1901, but it's days as a through route are over...at least for a few years until the Wisconsin & Calumet reactivates the line to reach Chicago. |
