Western Railroad Discussion > A Few UP from Western Wisconsin

The Union Pacific has a healthy presence here in Western Wisconsin as the Columbia Power Station near Portage is served by the UP as shown with the UP 7080 leading CP 813, a fairly recent repaint. The UP also has power mixed in on the CP Rail as shown with the UP 5504 leading a CP 384 grain train next to the Dresbach Lock and Dam, just north of La Crescent MN. Lastly the Winona MN to Adams WI freight, LTA-42 slugging up West Salem Hill east of West Salem WI behind the UP 2172 and a GP40-2.
