Description: |
The Mineral Point Zinc Company shipped thousands of cars out of Mineral Point in the early 1900s, but by the 1920s the zinc and lead market had collapsed and by 1935, the facilities were removed. Mineral Point was a busy place in the 1920's: a 1926 employee timetable shows 5 eastbound and 5 westbound scheduled trains!! In addition, there were two MP&N trains daily. On a Sunday afternoon in April, 1978, the Local is leaving Mineral Point with five 55 ton hoppers that brought in sand and gravel from Janesville for Ivey Construction Company. A large mound of mine tailings reminds us of Mineral Points past. |

South of Mineral Point at Slateford. Slateford was nothing more than a widespot in the road, but up until the early 1970's, would ship cattle. Less that a mile north of Slateford, was Highland Jct....the point where the Mineral Point & Northern left Milwaukee Road trackage and ran to Highland. The MP&N shared the Mineral Point depot and turntable with the Milwaukee Road, but had their own 2 stall engine house. The MP&N was abandoned in 1930. This train out of Mineral Point consists of 5 91751 series hoppers used to bring in sand and gravel for Ivey Construction. |

Description: |
Ready to leave Mineral Point. In the late 1970s, the Milwaukee reduced service west of Monroe to once a week...out Saturday and back Sunday. The Mineral Point depot is the oldest in Wisconsin...built in 1856. It has been restored and is now an outstanding museum. The Mineral Point & Northern used the upper floor of the depot for dispatching and offices. The MP&N shared A turntable with the Milwaukee Road, but had their own 2 stall engine house! The turntable and the Milwaukee's 2 stall engine house were removed in the late 1950's. This train had an empty hopper pulled from Ivey Construction in Mineral Point and 3 empty fertilizer cars from Calamine. |

Description: |
The 555 and I have run into each other before. I photographed it in Wisconsin on the Viroqua and Mineral Point branchlines as well as having several cab rides in it. The 555 and three Soo SDL39s are at Waseca. The 555 was painted blue & gold by 1994, sold to the Indiana Railroad in 1997, and then worked in Texas for Progress Rail Services. |
