A CN container train heads northwest via former SOO rails at Fremont Station, WI on 6 Jan. '18. The station sign says Fremont, but this site is 2 miles northeast of Fremont's village limits. This location is historically known as Fremont Station, but it is labeled Fremont Sidings on some old maps. The siding on the north side of the main line still sees some use, but the siding on this side (south side) of the main line that used to serve this and at least two other facilities has not been used for a long time. The rails are still there, obscured by dirt and vegetation, but the turnouts are gone. Train had two locomotives, CN 2230 pulling and another locomotive pushing. |
