Funny that the rails were taken away, but not the signals. A railroad signal with without rails is like a fish with no water.

We drove many miles alongside the remains of the Milwaukee Road on our trip across the US, mostly in the middle of nowhere. I can see why it struggled for so long to stay viable with virtually no customers along hundreds of miles of route.

Reminds me of the famous painting, "The Scream" by Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch.

As the US population continues to grow, I suspect this railbed will see trains again many many years from now.

It would appear we are on the 1956 line relocation with the old roadbed visible off to the left.
