Re: [CBQ] CB&Q interlocking plants in Wisconsin

[Deke Reiter <deke8706@yahoo.com>]

Galena Jct is in Illinois though, I believe they were asking about Wisconsin.

I don't know which ones were Q operated but I think there were interlockings at 
Prescott, East Winona, Crawford, Grand Crossing, the two in La Crosse for the 
passenger main/freight bypass, and Trivino. You said your map is from 1915, 
didn't the La Crosse bypass come later? 1920s/30s seems right to me.

As far as along the river in Illinois, it should be East Dubuque/East Cabin (I 
don't know if there was actually an interlocking at East Dubuque proper other 
than the IC swing bridge), Portage, Galena Jct, and Savanna. IC manned East 
Cabin and Portage, and I think the MILW manned Savanna.

      Galena Jct had a tower the operator had to ride a motor car out to get to 
so was put on the new C&I CTC desk when it was put in Cicero in the early '60's

Subject: [CBQ] CB&Q interlocking plants in Wisconsin



A report from the Railroad Commission of Wisconsin in 1915 says the CB&Q 
operated 6 interlocking plants in Wisconsin. I am aware of the tower at 
Crawford outside of Prairie du Chien. And I know there were at least two towers 
on the outskirts of La Crosse. And I assume that Grand Crossing (also in the La 
Crosse area) was operated by the Q as it was the last railroad at that place. 
Does anyone know where the others were? Could they have been at Trevino and 
Prescott?



Thank you for your help.
