Milwaukee 543 |
| Description: |
The Mineral Point Zinc Company shipped thousands of cars out of Mineral Point in the early 1900s, but by the 1920s the zinc and lead market had collapsed and by 1935, the facilities were removed. Mineral Point was a busy place in the 1920's: a 1926 employee timetable shows 5 eastbound and 5 westbound scheduled trains!! In addition, there were two MP&N trains daily. On a Sunday afternoon in April, 1978, the Local is leaving Mineral Point with five 55 ton hoppers that brought in sand and gravel from Janesville for Ivey Construction Company. A large mound of mine tailings reminds us of Mineral Points past. |

The Milwaukee Road used MP15s on the Janesville-Monroe segment since the track was in slightly better condition. The 6 axle SD10s were used west of Monroe due to lighter rail. Here, the 435 spots a tank car near the depot in Brodhead |

Milwaukee 481 |
| Description: |
The 481 waits for the crew at the Mineral Point depot on a Sunday morning. The Mineral Point & Northern used the second level of the depot for its offices and dispatcher. The MP&N shared the turntable with the Milwaukee Road, but had a separate engine house!! The 26 mile MP&N had trackage rights on the Milwaukee from Mineral Point to Highland Jct and then operated on its own track to Highland. The MP&N was abandoned and dismantled in 1930. The depot was built in 1857 and is now a museum. |
