Viewing Album:  Canadian Pacific/CPKC M&P Subdivision
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:6/26/2007 - 6/26/2023
Album Info:This line branches off of the CP's ex-Milwaukee Road main line through Wisconsin (Tomah/Watertown Subdivisions) at Portage and runs south to an interchange with the WSOR at Madison. It was one of the few Milwaukee Road lines to Madison to not go up for abandonment in the 1980s, and thus followed the natural progression MILW-SOO-CP, without being bought by the state and operated by a short line at any point. It is served by a local based out of Portage, usually M-W-F as of the late 2010s.

Description:  The very dilapidated/on the verge of collapse Morrisonville depot is visible to the left of the locomotive, moved from its original trackside location. Despite purchase by a preservation society with intent to restore it, the depot was too far gone and was later demolished in the 2010s.

Stranger in town
Title:  Stranger in town
Description:  It's easy to forget sometimes that CP also operates in Madison, since their line ends here, adjacent to the WSOR yard on the nosth side of town. Here the local G63 from Portage pokes its nose out from behind the trees, this is as far south as it will come before reversing to run around the train and#shove it across the interchage track to the WSOR.

End of the line
Title:  End of the line
Description:  I'm standing on the sidewalk of E. Johnson Street, to my left, the two ex-C&NW tracks currently used by WSOR cross. This ex-Miltaukee Road track used to also cross the road and connect to MILW's main Madison yard at W. Washington Avenue, as well as their lines to Prairie du Chien and Janesville. WSOR still operates those lines, but uses the ex-C&NW yard and tracks jeased from UP to access them.
