| Looking northwest along the CN, former MILW, rails from Fremont St. at Kiel, WI, on 30 May '20. To the left are remnants of a spur which once served several rail served businesses. Land O'Lakes Industrial Cheese, 1125 8th St., can be seen in the background to the right. They used to receive rail service, but I don't think they have for a while. Maybe the recent expansion will mean renewal of rail service. According to https://www.landolakesinc.com/ on 20 Nov. '19: "At Kiel, we’ve undertaken a multi-year modernization project to allow us to make room to receive more member milk and deliver larger blocks of cheese. These infrastructure improvements include modernizing cheese making and packaging, expanding capacity and making whey processing improvements. When completed in mid-2019, Kiel will be able to handle 3.2 million pounds of milk per day and produce both 40-pound and 640-pound blocks of cheese." |
