| Looking generally southwest into the property of the Canadian Pacific from N. Superior Avenue in Tomah. The acreage here was once home to some of the Milwaukee Roads shops. As of 2016, there is not much remaining that would indicate the importance the location in railroad history. The covered hoppers are most likely going to or have come from the Unimin Corp. sand quarry a few miles west of Tomah on the west side of the bore at Tunnel City. Unimin is the closest user of rail service to Tomah. The Coveris factory, reaching from the left side to the center of the photo does not have a spur. The quonset hut style structure in this photo dates from the Milwaukee Road era and can be seen in aerial views from the early 1970's. |
