Clyman, WI: Clyman Junction: C&NW vs. C&NW

(Satellite)

The 2005 SPV Map calls this Jefferson Junction instead of Clyman Junction.

CNW Train 495, Clyman Jct WI, August 25, 1974 -- We are at the crossing diamond at Clyman Jct as train 495 comes west with GP35 slug set 835-BU37-853 and 42 cars. The diamond was the crossing of the Butler-Adams Adams Subdivision and the Janesville-Fond du lac Janesville Subdivision. Today in 2019, the Adams Sub remains, but the diamond is gone and a remnant of the Janesville Sub (now the Clyman Sub) continues in existence south to Fort Atkinson. Train 495 in the 1970's ran west all the way across Minnesota and South Dakota to Rapid City. Joe Holman photo.

The tower in the background at Clyman Jct. looks like the same design as the tower at Nelson, IL.
Dennis DeBruler commented on Joe's post
The coaling tower is of interest to me. Looking at a satellite image, it appears it has been removed. But this photo teaches me that the one at Nelson, IL must have had a tower on top.

Now knowing it exists, I took another look. It was closer to the junction than I had thought.
