The Last EVER Grain Train From The Oconto Falls Co-op? Plus ELS 1221 Is Having More Issues..

Jason Asselin Short 3 months ago

Description

After many days without seeing a train, I knew it was time to go looking for one! I found myself in Crivitz, WI where ELS 400 and 1221 were sitting after pulling a load of corn the previous day from Oconto Falls. This was the rest and last of the corn to be moved via rail, possibly forever! After moving up near Beecher the train suddenly stops and then after moving again they left ELS 1221 sitting on the main and ELS 400 went to Pembine alone to switch on the CN. When I left Pembine they were still switching and continued switching the following day until late into the afternoon.
