May I Take Your Order

Flooding in the Reeseville marsh covering both main tracks forces CP to run trains from Chicago to Janesville, WI on the Union Pacific Harvard Sub. From Janesville to Madison, WI where they get back on home rails the detour trains utilize the trackage of the WSOR. UP's automatic train stop system necessitate that one of their locomotives are in the lead for these moves. At one time Laurel Ave was a through street. Apparently removing the warning lights wasn't on the list when the grade crossing was removed.
