LAST TRAIN EVER... On The AC Belt
"One Last Breath"
Onlookers and photographers watch as the UP Marsh Job makes its way down the "AC Belt" spur for the last time. The AC Belt is a mile long spur that was once served by both C&NW and CMSTP&P, it has sat dormant, along with a passenger car at the end of the spur for many years.
May 3rd of 2024, UP made the trip to pick up the passenger car, I counted 7 other railfans, along with employees from the industrial park watching the show. As they shoved the car back down to the mainline, they shined up the rails one last time. It is rumored the UP has permission to abandon all crossings on the belt, so it's likely this is the last train to ever make the journey to the end of the line, ending an era of West Allis railroad history.
West Allis, Wisconsin.

    Good overall coverage of the railroad. They are quite predictable with many friendly crews which makes them an easy catch. I've lived in/around Decatur for a couple years now and they are my go-to shortline. One tiny correction: that 201 train was more than likely train 200, the local based out of Tuscola/Ficklin that once a week (typically Thursdays) makes a run to Metcalf to interchange Charleston Sub traffic. 201 is the reverse of 101 and runs at night so it's very hard to get on camera in any decent lighting, unless 101 runs it which happens every once in a long while if 201 gets caught up with odd jobs overnight (The train symbols are actually the crew symbols, which sometimes leads to a little confusion when you find that 200 turned into a grain train for a day instead of the Tuscola switcher like normal 🙂)

      Some of the crossings are pulled out, like in Mellen. I read on an internet discussion board Watco decoded against reopening the Ashland Sub north of Fifield/Park Falls. Still OOS after 2.5 years, there's no online business left and the old Consolidated Papers complex in Wisconsin Rapids closed several years ago which where most of the traffic went in WC era. So sad. It would take millions to reopen and do proper track work, fix washouts, etc.

    My wife and I took an excursion train on the NBN. I want to say the locomotive was a Baldwin AS-616 painted kind of a Kelly green with a white stripe. It was a pretty nice trip but when we got back to the beginning they were backing the cars into the siding and the wheels split the switch. I just happened to be standing in the vestibule above the guilty truck and saw the cars moving sideways. I yelled at people to get back away from the diaphragms. The crew was on top of it and we only rolled about twenty feet with the wheels off the rails. Bit of excitement to wrap up our trip. I can see why they’d leave the rails just lie there. It’s just like a farmer letting a field go fallow to let it re-generate. Let the trees grow and wait for better prices.
