Description:  A northbound E&LS train parked on former MILW rails at Hwy. P at Beaver, WI on 20 Sep. '14. Train had two locomotives, ELS 501 and ILSX 1338. There used to be a siding here aod a large, old foundation is partially visible on the right. It might be the remains of one of two potato warehouses built in the early 1900s. The Beaver depot was closed in 1931 and was razed in 1952, not sure which side of the tracks it was on or which side of Hwy. P.
