Viewing Album: UP Harvard Subdivision - Evansville Spur
By:
Andre Wehrle
Dates:
9/2/2008 - 9/2/2022
Album Info:
Just west of the Rock River in Janesville, the ex-C&NW trackage splits at a switch. Continuing across the river is the former line to Fond du Lac, now abandoned just beyond US Highway 14 where UP serves a handful of customers (a portion of that trackage is also utilized by WSOR to access their ex-Milwaukee Road line to Milton and Madison/Waukesha). Paralleling the west bank of the river before bending off to the west and then north is the former line to Madison and points north (RR west). UP owns this as far as MP 119 just east of the village of Brooklyn, but traffic is extremely rare west of the Landmark Co-op located just east of Evansville; where unit grain trains are loaded on a loop track. This album covers this segment of the line from the Janesville city limits westward.

Title:
Easing around the loop, under the Landmark/ALCIVIA loader
Description:
This was a bit odd, typically these trains go in via the west switch and loop around to the south and east, but I guess in the end it doesn't make a whole lot of difference, especially if they use a head/tail DPU setup as this train did.

Description:
The head end power has come all the way around the loop and is now facing east on the main, while the DPU power was cut off.
