Thread-topic: [CBQ] La Crosse WI
Switching of the brewery, lumberyards etc. could be done from either direction 
up till about 1987'ish  as I recall.  At that time the north segment from 
Gillette Street to the 2nd Street area was removed.  Access is now via the 
switch on the south end at milepost 295.  Switching still active is the City 
Brewery (Heileman's) and a lumber yard along Green Bay Street. Notable is that 
the stick rail dating some from the early 1900's near the main has recently 
been replaced with new chunks of cwr.

List,

Would the last through traffic to use the old line have been the remaining BN 
pass. trains in April 1971?

As late as 1988, I have shots of a high-nose geep switching around the former 
depot, but surely by then
just a stub of old line was left.

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?
