Hi All,

I am looking for prototype locations of icing stations in Wisconsin.  I know of one that was in Milwaukee for the Milw, CNW had one in Oshkosh, and Soo had one at Stevens Point.  Any others?

 

 

CNW also had one in Green Bay, Soo had one in N. Fond du lac.Ice was cut from lake Winnebago for many years.

There is a photo of Portage Wisc in the Summer 2012 issue of Classic Trains. They Show an Icehouse so I would assume they iced reefers there.

I think there was one in Altoona.

  Many division points had icing facilities - The CB&Q had one at North La Crosse, WI.  Reefers needed to topped off per the shipper instructions...
