Remarks & Notes

In November 1969 while scouting out deer hunting spots in the Nelson bottoms along the Mississippi River, I happened to time a shot of an eastbound Burlington freight approaching Trevino, the junction with Milwaukee Roads branch line to Eau Claire, WI. The bright red Geep and GE added warmth to a cold dreary November day. Interestingly, this segment of the Burlington was single track from Trevino, west across the Chippewa River where it went back to double track.
