L465
Title:  L465
Description:  L465 heads down the line in Madison's Isthmus. Just to the right of the tracks is the nearly-complete first phase of Madison's Central Park. Abandoned industrial lots gave way to what turned out to be a pretty nice space and the home of several large events this summer. The funny-looking building with the grass roof below the stacks and the Capitol building is the restroom facility for the park.

MX

Description:  The crew brings their train to the diamond at the old site of Tower MX, a one-time crossing of busy C&NW and MILW lines. The junction still sees regular use - the daily freight between Janesville and Madison takes the connector track, and various local jobs cross the diamond and use the connector tracks to access the branch lines as they go about their duties.
