Adams Yard
Title:  Adams Yard
Description:  Looking west into the former CNW yard at Adams. This line was built in the 1880's and was to be located 2 miles to the north in Friendship. Local land owners in Friendship decided to use this as an opportunity to inflate the prices they wanted for the right of way. In return, the railroad built here instead. Originally the railroad named this location Friendship but it was confusing because there were two Friendship's on the line. The citizens of the city were given a voice in the change and a vote was taken. There were two choices, Adams, for President Adams and Nottingham. Obviously Adams won out. This is a fairly important yard on this former "Route of the 400". A concrete coal tower of CNW heritage still stands tall here as well. For as many trains as are seen here in the yard, activity on the line between here and Milwaukee is rather hit and miss.
