CP Daylight M&P "Superbowl" turn
6 days a week the CP sends a train over the "M&P" branch, the ex-MILW branch that runs south from Portage, WI., to Madison, a distance of 32 miles. Usually the train is called for 5pm and most of the line is 10mph, meaning that only in the long days of summer can a person photograph this train meandering south to Madison--and only then for a few miles into the trip before it gets dark. But, on Superbowl Sunday, the CP lets the M&P crew run 12 hours earlier, meaning a rare chance to capture this train in daylight at the south end of its run including the interchange with the WSOR at their yard in Madison.
