Andre Wehrle General Crossing still exists (although tower is long gone), WSOR uses the ex-C&NW tracks to serve a few customers in Oregon and on the stub of the old Ridge Runner line. Not much runs through on the ex-MILW side but occasionally there will be grain trains that run directly from Prairie du Chien to Janesville and back. 2/8/2023 10:19:31 AM
