Today I saw 2 UP switch engines on the track leading to Evansville WI. This line ends in Evansville (at least I think anyways) and begins in Janesville, WI where UP has a yard. I caught them on County H formally Hwy. 184 (intersects with hwy.14). Anyways they were dropping what looked like a dry fertilizer hopper off at the farm co-op nearby. The other cars that made up the train were a few box cars and 3 reefer cars. The reefer cars were orange and white in color. Looked brand new. Had Thermo King reefer units. I thought the name on the cars said CT but after doing a web search I couldnt find a thing so obviously I didnt get the name right. These were my first reefer cars I have ever seen and am quite excited to learn more about them. Anyways what I'm trying to get at is in Evansville, all I thought the UP served was the big grain elevator and that was it. But why would the UP switchers have box cars along with 3 reefer cars on that train if all they served in Evansville is a grain elevator? I dont know much about the industry in Evansville. Didnt know there were any reefer customers let alone box car customers in that city. Guess I was wrong. Am I also wrong in saying that the track ends in Evansville? Thought it did. Where in WI does UP have a reefer customer? Sorry if this dosent make alot of sence. In a hurry. Thanks
