CNW Bayport coal train |
| Description: |
A rather unique push/pull operation, this coal train would go down the hill into Hudson, WI and then pull backwards about 3 miles to the power plant. The Seaboard engine was probably a pretty unusual guest. |

CNW in the hole |
| Description: |
A northbound CNW freight in its first couple years running via the Cambridge line, waits patiently in the siding for a southbound to pass. Unfortunately, this would get to be a major problem for this line in the 1990s as it was saturated with too many trains after the old NP route was severed in 1987. |
