| Den Adler posted C&NW 4329 running light along the Ridgerunner route switching beneath the coal tower at Montfort Junction, Wisconsin. The tower is still there, in the middle of a corn field, visible from US Highway 18 west of Cobb. I was over there a few times during the week I was camping with my son's Boy Scout troop at nearby Governor Dodge State Park. |

| Charlie Danz posted, cropped to Facebook resolution The old concrete coaling tower stands proud near the old ROW of the C&NW in Monfort,WI I'm surprised its still here Charlie Danz The tracks have been gone since I believe the late 80s. Charlie Danz From a guy I know who worked MoW on this line the speed limit was 10mph but they seldom got over 5mph and they had to stop often to rerail locomotive. Charlie Danz Everything around it is farmland only bits and pieces of the grade remain. Rob Hentschel Well someone owns the ROW. They aren't going to spend the money to tear that down. That's easily a $75k demolition. Tom Wilson This a Fairbanks-Morse coaling Tower. A William Nelson III steel reinforced concrete, those things are built. it would cost a mint to remove, and the risk of it coming down on it's own and hurting someone are next to nothing. |
