Afternoon Walk Through the Cultural Center

I had a serendipitous walk home from yoga on this beautiful afternoon.

I walked down Ferry Street after leaving class in Milwaukee Junction, enjoying the 70 degree temperature. I’ve been meaning to pass the Freer home since researching The Peacock Room for Art in the Stations!

I picked up a coffee at BasBlue, a women-owned cafe and community space I've been meaning to check out, and learned there is an outdoor patio to enjoy. I'll come back soon to enjoy this gem when I have more time!

The Way Things Were by DNO_Dennis Via Flickr: A quick visit to Milwaukee Junction in August of 1980 caught this DT&I "foreigner" amongst the usual GTW power. Little did we know the GTW had purchased the DT&I, and sights like this were going to become more and more common.

DGVR 7094 Elk River Junction WV por Ian M. Hapsias Por Flickr: Durbin and Greenbrier Railroad's New Tygart Flyer is crossing over the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River at Elk River Junction, WV. This popular West Virginia tourist train departs from downtown Elkins, WV to the 18' high, 150 foot wide High Falls of Cheat deep within the Monongahela National Forest. The leisurely paced train ride is a 4 hour 45 minute round trip on the former Western Maryland GC&E Sub. The lead unit is a former Milwaukee Road EMD F7A masquerading as a C&O painted engine. The fall colors weren't quite yet at peak during this early October day, but mild temps and blue skies made for a tremendously enjoyable day deep within the remoteness of West Virginia. Visible high on top of the ridge in the background is the once famous Raven Rock that looked down on this unique Western Maryland junction, but has sadly succumbed to being overgrown by vegetation.

Soo Line on the Milwaukee Road, Part One of Three

The Soo Line had trackage rights on the Milwaukee Road (Wisconsin Division, Twelfth Subdivision) to gain access to Milwaukee.

In 1977, I followed a train westward on the line between North Milwaukee, roughly, to Rugby Junction where the train switched over to the Soo main. I have one shot after that, near Slinger, Wisconsin, on the Soo Line itself. I’ll split this up over three installments.

In this first post then, we initially see the train just west of North Milwaukee, near Havenwoods; I was standing near the intersection of N. 60th Street and N. Mill Road. The bridge in the background supports a Chicago & North Western line. In the third image, the train is crossing over N. 76th Street, just south of Good Hope Road; in the fourth at the Granville Depot. And in the final image we see the train near Boundary Road, perhaps—this one location is uncertain.

Five images by Richard Koenig; taken February 26th 1977.

Soo Line on the Milwaukee Road, Part Three of Three

The Soo Line had trackage rights on the Milwaukee Road (Wisconsin Division, Twelfth Subdivision) to gain access to Milwaukee. In 1977, I followed a train westward on the line between North Milwaukee, roughly, to Rugby Junction where the train switched over to the Soo main. I have one shot after that, near Slinger, Wisconsin, on the Soo Line itself. I’ve split this up over three installments.

To finish this series of posts, we now see two images of our train at Pleasant Hill Road, in Richfield, Wisconsin. The next three pictures shows it at Rugby Junction: it can first be seen using the connection between Milwaukee Road and Soo Line mains. The next two pictures were made from where Scenic Road crosses the tracks.

The final image has the train on the Soo Line main now, seen from the Highway 60 overpass, south of Slinger, Wisconsin. The quality of the right-of-way is noticeably better here on the Soo!
