| Description: |
And here we are looking south along the former Chicago Great Western right of way from the CGW/MILW crossing site. Believe it or not, CGW rails remain buried beneath all those weeds and trees! |

This Piece Of The CGW Still Lives |
| Description: |
The former Chicago Great Western Austin line remains intact south of where it crossed the Milwaukee Road. These rusty rails still bear the weight of tank cars destined for Hormel. |

Where The Milwaukee and the Great Western Once Joined |
| Description: |
This is where the connection track off the Milwaukee Road line to Iowa came in to connect with the Chicago Great Western southwest of the crossing of the two lines. Note the former signal relay box at left and some former CGW track now buried beneath weeds and small trees at right. Photographs of both can be found in my "Railway Archeology" album. |

Old CGW Signal, View Two |
| Description: |
Here is another view of the old CGW signal which still guards the old Milwaukee Road/Chicago Great Western crossing near the Hormel Plant. The signal strikes me as looking like a sad, forlorn face. |

Discarded Ties |
| Description: |
I found this pile of discarded ties --some of which still had tie plates on them-- on the south side of the former CGW/MILW crossing. I wonder if these were ex-CGW/CNW ones? |

Site Of CGW Cedar River Bridge, View One |

This trail bridge utilizes the abutments for the Chicago Great Western's Cedar River bridge, which lasted long after abandonment of the CGW from Austin on south in 1984 until being removed to make way for this trail bridge. |

Where The CGW Once Crossed The Cedar |
| Description: |
The old CGW bridge over the Cedar River lasted from abandonment of the old CGW south of the Hormel plant until the first decade of the 21st Century, where the deck plate bridge that used to be here was swapped out for a trail bridge. The alingment of the CGW ROW remains intact, however, thanks to the use of the old bridge piers. |

Unlocked? Seriously?! |
| Description: |
This is the switch for the Hormel plant along the surviving piece of ex-CGW track used by CP to serve Hormel. The fact it is not locked floored me. |
