Looking SSW along the spur that leads from the former GB&W mainline, now CN branch, into downtown, as seen from Bridge St., Manawa, WI on 2 Jun. '13. The white building on the right was once National Condensed Milk Co. and used to receive rail service. A photograph from 1908: http://www.mainstreet-marketplace.com/images/wismanawa.jpg; and from 1974: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77797698@N04/6859911396/. The tracks continue to the left, cross Bridge St., and end at Sturm Foods, the last rail customer in Manawa. A disagreement between the two parties has left rail service in limbo for the past couple of years. |
