Anyone know where I can find this information? There's kind of "cryptic" message on the UP site, about available based on need.

Found a nice starter on the WI DOT site, has some of the mystery crossing names.

I'm listening to the scanner and would like to know where these places are, that have old names or rail only names.

Specifically looking for Wisconsin MPs and names. (UP - CN - CPRS? - WSOR) The four that are near me. But I have a UP mainline out the front door, within earshot, a CN spur off to the East, and slightly West (I hear them often) UP Industrial North-West.

Otherwise I'll be forced to get a map and start adding, one by one.

Currently here's my favorite because it has crossing to the South and the North, nice and open for video. Two lines (less waiting?) [Wink]

Call it stupid, but Franks and Kraut? Maybe it's just being from Wisconsin. And MP 66 is just up the road a bit. Very nice.

Then there's this in many spots...

Painted over? But the same numbers that they seem to be using? Why?

Must have been a really tough question?

No one has access to the UP map with location names?
