A stone bridge pier/abutment still stands along the south side of the ex. Milw.
Rd. yard near the old Camp 20 office site. A paperback book((8-1/2 X 11)
"Grand Crossing" by Joe Follmar published by 4000 Foundation in 1992 shows many
photos of the area. The Q line from North La Crosse to downtown operated into
the mid 80's. The switch run was "The Downtown Job" to the Heileman Brewery.
