M344 creaks around the curve on the connection to the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW) |
| Description: |
The ex-GBW main continues to the right (east), but stub-ends just west of the former 17th Ave. N crossing (south of the two existing RR crossings on that road). About 2,800' of the line is removed up to just east of 10th Ave. N, where a tiny stub formed by the southwest quadrant connecting track to the ex-MILW Valley Sub still exists for some reason. Then the line is removed through the former location of the diamond (done almost immediately upon the acquision of the GBW/FRVR by WC in 1993). Additional connecting tracks on the east side of the ex-MILW line allow for service as far as Plover. |

M344 flies west into the dusk, crossing County Highway D between cranberry bogs |
| Description: |
This part of the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW main) runs through the heart of west-central Wisconsin cranberry country. On Google Maps, I see three cranberry farms within two miles of this spot. According to the USDA, as of 2016 Wisconsin produced 64% of the nation's cranberries. |
