CN local, led by CN 4721, spots several covered hoppers for United Cooperative (behind me) via former C&NW rails at Denmark, WI on 15 Feb. '18. At left, an employee prepares to loosen the retaining straps of a centerbeam flatcar which the local has just spotted for Dufeck Wood Products & Manufacturing. Established as Dufeck Bros. Lumber Co. in 1905 when four brothers purchased an existing sawmill at Stangleville, WI from the Albrect Bros. They moved the business to Denmark in '10 or '12. The name was changed to Dufeck Manufacturing Co. in '21. We met the property owner and were granted his permission to photograph the train from here. |
