Up the Hill |
| Description: |
The crew has their ponies pulling hard on the Lycon loads as they head out of town. They're about to pass through a rock cut and under Badger road and the Beltline highway. In the distance you can see the junction with the Vita Spur near Olin Avenue. Some of Madison's newer (and pricier) high rise apartments and condos loom in the distance, a stark contrast to my photo location on Badger road. |

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. |

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. |
