Montfort Junction to Dodgeville, Wisconsin 1937 1940 Chicago & North Western Rwy Ridgerunner Line
Montfort (Junction) to Dodgeville, Wisconsin 1937 1940. Continuing the trip from Fennimore we are Eastbound from Montfort, Wisconsin on October 30, 1937. Montfort Junction is just East of town with the branch to Platteville and Galena, Illinois. Separate videos to Platteville and from Platteville to Calamine, Wisconsin (on the MILW) are shown as links. Back up on the main, we pass Cobb, then a station called Whitson (the Junction with the CMStP&P Mineral point line from Calamine and Janesville), and Edmund, WI before reaching Dodgeville and the stop at the far North part of town. The DVD version of this trip includes, among the Extra Features, a larger image of Dodgeville itself and other passing railroad structures. Separate videos to Verona and from Verona to Madison, Wisconsin are linked to our videos and available on DVD with Westbound journeys and Sepia tone versions.
Much of the right of way of the Ridgerunner Line is now part of the Military Ridge State Trail.
These videos use historic photos in motion following the railroad right of way. Duration was set to very roughly approximate the travel times from timetables of the era. Dates in captions at end-points taken from the single frame. Adjoining tracks and travel sections appear in video links at the end, or where appropriate, during the trip. Stereo audio (on most videos) is of personal recordings of a Class 1 branch line. We welcome comments and suggestions to these initial several videos, and additional rail lines and locations are currently in development. Due to many requests, DVD versions with Original and Reverse Direction options and Extra Features of passing railroad structures and timetables are available. The DVDs are suitable for Zoom, Freeze Frame and Speed options on most DVD players.
Thanks for looking!!

Dodgeville, Wisconsin - At The Heart Of It All
City of Dodgeville is geographically located among sandstone bluffs, steep hills and gently rolling farmlands. The surrounding area is referred to as unglaciated because it was untouched by the glaciers that shaped much of the region's topography. It is also referred to as the driftless region because the absence of glaciers meant that no drift (or accumulated rock and soil) was left behind. Many people simply refer to this area as the Uplands. By any name, it's no exaggeration to say that the surrounding area is a feast for the eyes with its rugged rock outcroppings, wildflower meadows and prairies, wooded hillsides, lakes and streams, and rolling farmlands.

THE HISTORY OF THE RICE LAKE, DALLAS & MENOMONIE RAILWAY
This is a much-condensed history I originally did in the early 1980's for the Soo Line Historical Society. I then produced a one-hour Power Point presentation as a clinic for the South Central Wisconsin Division of the NMRA in 2002 from which I derived this video.
The RLD&M originally ran in northwest Wisconsin from 1893-99 then was absorbed into the Soo Line. The last vestige of the line was abandoned within the past 10 years.
See the other half of this presentation describing how I modeled this line in HO scale at:

MODELING THE RLD&M RAILROAD IN HO SCALE
This clinic on the Rice Lake, Dallas & Menomonie Railway originally was part of a one-hour Power Point presentation given to the membership of South Central Wisconsin Division of the NMRA in 2002.

It's an HO scale model railroad layout based on a prototype that used to run in northwest Wisconsin.

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Stevens Point (#707)
[Latest Airdate: May 31, 2018]
[Original Airdate: February 22, 2018]
When John said, Let's get straight to the point, we're so glad we took him literally because Stevens Point earned tons of brownie points! Everyone in this fabulous city pointed us to a great episode, and stayed on point throughout with their pointed remarks.
Point Brewery was an obvious (and great) choice, and you can't talk about Stevens Point without pointing out the trivia contest. But we are so glad when we can point to the not-so-obvious community stars, too. What do governors for dams, wheelchairs, potatoes, toys, tea, women's clothing, Father Fat's food, Iroquois raised beadwork and art paper have in common? Yep. All pointed out in this episode.
But it's pointless to continue with our list because after watching this episode, you will completely get the point. Stevens Point IS the point!
