Michael,
I don't have firm answers for you, but when I got started in model railroading 
I bought a Kalmbach book on building a layout that included LaCrosse.  It was 
set in the BN era and the line depicted went through town.

  I am trying to get a handle on the timeline of events involving the Q thru La 
Crosse WI.  At one time the Q had a line that went thru downtown La Crosse; was 
this the original line, or was it built at the same time as the freight bypass 
east of town?  If the freight bypass was built after the line thru downtown, 
when did this happen? And last but not least, when was the line thru downtown 
abandoned?  



  You find yourself asking the darndest questions at 3 a.m........
