The C&NW's Adams-Winona, MN line and Milwaukee Road's (later SOO/CP's) Chicago-Twin Cities line ran in close proximity from here to just east of La Crosse. In 1973, C&NW's tunnel collapsed and they soon abandoned their line west of there, and obtained trackage rights over the Milwaukee Road to access Winona. That arrangement continues to this day with UP and CP. Here LTA-41 must wait for eastbound CP train 470 before entering the single-track Tomah Sub. |
