Nostalgia & History > Two More CNW Slides Need a LocationDate: 01/18/17 15:21 Two More CNW Slides Need a Location Author: MartyBernard Roger Puta shot these in July 1982, possibly in Wisconsin. They are slides 14 and 15 from the same roll. Can someone tell where Roger was?
Thanks, Marty   Date: 01/18/17 16:04 Re: Two More CNW Slides Need a Location Author: CNW The second picture looks like the Butler Yard engine facility. Butler is a northwest suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The first picture may also be at Butler. There was a wye track on the north side of the engine facility there used for turning power.
Dennis Date: 01/18/17 16:13 Re: Two More CNW Slides Need a Location Author: MILW16 But didn't two legs of the wye at Butler consist of mainline tracks (Adams Sub to Adams/Friendship and the line across the north side of Milwaukee to the Lakeshore and Fond du Lac lines)? The track in the pic looks pretty weak for that.

Ben Date: 01/18/17 17:36 Re: Two More CNW Slides Need a Location Author: MILW16 Looking on Google Earth there is a wye directly east of the engine facility that is probably the location of the first picture. So I think Dennis (CNW) is right.
