| Larry Foht posted This is a rare image of West Junction at the West side of Wallace Yards at Freeport Illinois... The tracks here go North to Wisconsin. The Dodgeville line and the Madison line start here at West Jct. Larry Foht collection: Daniel C Carroll Jr. shared Dennis DeBruler shared Dirk Craig: what RR is this? Dennis DeBruler: CN/Illinois Central I marked the tree-line of the branch that used to go North to Wisconsin. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ws9bFugLRdM8TKQm6 The two branches into Wisconsin that this route fed are abandoned. But CN still has Wallace Yards to the east. You can still see the foundation of the tower: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LNdwvNm5HjLwjwzZA |
