Bike Trail, Springfield, WI
Springfield, WI
The Milwaukee Road had a line that passed through Springfield from Sturdevant west to Beloit. In 1980, the MILW put this one-time high speed line out of service and about 18 years later torn up in some places. But now MILW successor Canadian Pacific has put out of service the line west of Sturdevant through Union Grove and Kansasville. (Hope the line will not be torn up too!) That leaves the line west out of Elkhorn with service by Wisconsin & Southern and west out of Clinton by Union Pacific. As for Springfield, the former MILW right of way is now a bike path, and the former MILW depot is now the Pedal 'n' Cup coffee shop.
