| CN train backs into the former C&NW and SOO yards at Wisconsin Rapids, WI on 4 Jul. '17. Both roads had parallel yards here, approximately 4 tracks each ca. 1973. Both roads used to cross the GB&W behind me. The track on the left has been truncated at the street, but it used to form the northwest quadrant of the junction. A junction of the MILW and GB&W was nearby (to the right) as well. This portion of Wisconsin Rapids, formerly Grand Rapids, was known as West Rapids, shortened to Westrap on some old maps and railroad documents. |
