CN 2908 leading a southbound Superior Sub potash train overtakes M344 waiting in the siding
Title:  CN 2908 leading a southbound Superior Sub potash train overtakes M344 waiting in the siding
Description:  M344 normally runs from Canada to Stevens Point, but with over 200 cars bound for Wis. Rapids and points west on the ex-GBW today the train was split here at Junction City. This section will take the southwest connector to go south on the Valley Sub.

CN 2275 and 2770 take the SW connection with M344 heading south on the Valley
Title:  CN 2275 and 2770 take the SW connection with M344 heading south on the Valley
Description:  Superior Sub runs left to right across the foreground, diamond with the Valley Sub is just visible in the lower left. Perhaps unique for a railroad diamond in Wisconsin in this day and age, connector tracks in all four quadrants are still in place and in service at Junction City, along with RTC-controlled sidings just to the south (visible ahead and to the left of 2275) on the Valley, and west on the Superior.

M344 has come to a stop at the wye switch
Title:  M344 has come to a stop at the wye switch
Description:  Ahead and to the left (from our perspective) crosses a diamond with a stub of the ex-C&NW/Soo Line joint line to Marshfield, then connects to the ex-GBW main (Whitehall Sub) going west. To the right goes into the yard, or alternatively can use the aforementioned stub along with the southeast quadrant connecting track to perform a wye turn, which the crew will momentarily do with their lead unit.

No, THAT way!
Title:  No, THAT way!
Description:  The crew has cut off 2275, to my confusion. To my further confusion, they proceeded to wye it to have it facing long-hood-forward westbound on the Whitehall Sub. After consulting with another area railfan, the only reason I can think of is that 2770 is not PTC-equipped, and they wanted 2275 facing forward to eventually lead the train east again and back into PTC territory.

CN 2275 crosses the diamond with the stub of the ex-CNW/SOO Vesper/Marshfield line
Title:  CN 2275 crosses the diamond with the stub of the ex-CNW/SOO Vesper/Marshfield line
Description:  This line joined with the ex-Soo Line (WCL/now also CN) Superior Sub mainline in Marshfield. Another stub of it remains on that end for service to a few remaining freight customers.

M344 creaks around the curve on the connection to the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW)
Title:  M344 creaks around the curve on the connection to the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW)
Description:  The ex-GBW main continues to the right (east), but stub-ends just west of the former 17th Ave. N crossing (south of the two existing RR crossings on that road). About 2,800' of the line is removed up to just east of 10th Ave. N, where a tiny stub formed by the southwest quadrant connecting track to the ex-MILW Valley Sub still exists for some reason. Then the line is removed through the former location of the diamond (done almost immediately upon the acquision of the GBW/FRVR by WC in 1993). Additional connecting tracks on the east side of the ex-MILW line allow for service as far as Plover.

M344 flies west into the dusk, crossing County Highway D between cranberry bogs
Title:  M344 flies west into the dusk, crossing County Highway D between cranberry bogs
Description:  This part of the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW main) runs through the heart of west-central Wisconsin cranberry country. On Google Maps, I see three cranberry farms within two miles of this spot. According to the USDA, as of 2016 Wisconsin produced 64% of the nation's cranberries.
