Remarks & Notes |
An eastbound BNSF local crosses the CN trackage at East Dubuque. The local is working out of LaCrosse and will stop here at East Dubuque to do interchange work with the CN. Cool old school consist power this 43 car train down the Aurora Sub. Above the engines, to the right, the bluff ledge was once the old highway 20 that crossed the Mississippi River into Dubuque via the "Wagon Bridge" that was built in 1887. That bridge stayed in place til the current Julien-Dubuque Bridge was built in 1942. As one can see the old road has been taken over by rock and trees in the pass 77 years.
