| An interesting trio of foreigners lead a unit train of 2-bay covered hoppers approaching Dixie Rd. while headed southwest along the CN, former SOO, rails at Town of Vinland, Winnebago Co., WI on 12 Apr. '18. Train had three locomotives, NS 8077, BNSF 4162, BNSF 9061. The CN completed some significant brush clearing here about a month ago. The large patch of white gravel is a spot that has been recently leveled off in preparation for some upcoming work. I'm standing where the former C&NW right-of-way used to cross the road. Part of the former C&NW main line forms a long passing siding, sometimes referred to as Dixie Siding, at right. |
