Viewing Album:  Union Pacific Adams, Altoona and Winona Subdivisions
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:1/4/2007 - 6/4/2023
Album Info:The cross-Wisconsin portion of Union Pacific's Chicago-St. Paul main. Also includes the short branch from Wyeville to Tunnel City used by the Adams-Winona, MN trains (west of Tunnel City is via trackage rights over CPKC, dating back to the abandonment of C&NW's trackage in the 1970s).

Lining the switch for...wait, WHAT?!
Title:  Lining the switch for...wait, WHAT?!
Description:  Actually I knew this was coming on the point of train MALBUB. This is the first time I have ever laid eyes on 1995 in the 12 years it has been on the rails. Also only the second time I've ever seen ANY of the UP Heritage Units, and my first time seeing one of them in motion (leading or not).

Arrrrrrrgh
Title:  Arrrrrrrgh
Description:  It's always something with me and Heritage units leading. In this case, my first sighting of ANY of UP's fleet (and it just happens to be my most coveted) is abbreviated by MBUWN pulling west on the main to clear a switch in the yard.

Finally!
Title:  Finally!
Description:  Heavily backlit by the sinking sun, but I was determined to see as much as possible on my first opportunity to get ANY of UP's Heritage fleet moving, let alone leading. After over three and a half hours in Adams yard, MALBUB finally has its track warrant and starts the pull east.

Parting glimpse of North Western heritage
Title:  Parting glimpse of North Western heritage
Description:  After the head end just beat us to Oxford, I called it quits and jumped on I-39 south to head home to Madison. Our timing was just right for my girlfriend to snag this with her iPhone from the passenger window. I like how the phone camera's low resolution combined with our 70+ MPH motion creates a kind of watercolor effect.

Title:  CN 2857 leads the OSVVP-03 EB oil train over Buffalo Lake
Description:  This bridge, one of the scenic highlights of the Adams Sub, is quite the hidden gem being not visible or accessible from any major roads. You have to go into a dead-end subdivision on narrow, winding roads and find the small public boat launch from which it can be photographed.

Description:  Didn't shoot the head end power due to the insane amounts of traffic chasing the Big Boy through this small town. This train tied things up good, blocking several crossings while they stopped to line the manual siding switch.

Brown Stick Season and Stick Rail
Title:  Brown Stick Season and Stick Rail
Description:  It has been a relatively pleasant March by Wisconsin standards, but we've still got another month or so before the trees start to leaf out in earnest. This is UP LTA-41, trundling along the ancient ex-C&NW jointed rail of the Winona Subdivision between Wyeville and Tunnel City. It's down to a once-weekly extra board job out of Adams (eastbound counterpart LTA-42 runs on Fridays).

Waiting
Title:  Waiting
Description:  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.

Wasting No Time
Title:  Wasting No Time
Description:  Before 470's tail end had even cleared the switch, LTA-41 was on the move toward the junction with the Tomah Sub. Just beyond the junction point and the signal ahead of the train is the east portal of the tunnel, frustratingly JUST out of reach of being shootable from public property. With the leaves off the trees, I could just barely glimpse it from Flag Avenue.
