Pewaukee, WI: Duplainville Tower: (CP+Amtrak)/Milw vs. (CN+WSOR)/WC and Milwaukee Depot

Tower: (Satellite, the tower was in the northwest quadrant)
Depot: (Satellite, the land has been repurposed)

Milwaukee went east/west and Wisconsin Central went north/south.  

According to historic aerial photos, the tower was removed between 1990 and 1995.

The 2005 SPV Map spells it Dauplainville, so I had some trouble finding this tower.

MILW SD40-2 3009. Need help with origin; was this locomotive built as MILW 139? Did it become part of the SOO line locomotive roster?
Mike Bubrick: Built as 3009 then renumbered 139.

Yes indeed, I miss that tower too😣 . I think that was train 213 the fast Ford special !
[It is so nice when the photographer includes the tower and the name is readable.]
