Frederick Wolter General Wow, I had no idea that the CGW track going up the hill was still in place in '82. 2/12/2011 2:23:39 PM
The Slidebroker image by John Hill General Reading posts from railfan lists like TwinCityRails tells me the CGW mainline between Red Wing & Cannon Falls had been out of service for several years prior to 1982, but the C&NW continued to switch their local Red Wing industries via MILW trackage rights access. The mainline abandonment was officially approved in 1982. I don't know when that ramped interchange track finally got removed though. 2/12/2011 3:06:49 PM
