“The P-Line” Portage – Stevens
Point: A Public Presentation
Come, travel back to an era when
a Soo Line railroad branch
line stretched south from Stevens Point to Portage. A Computer
aided presentation will enable hosts Mike Harrington, Middleton
and Tim Martin
to reveal interesting events, photos and facts of the famed
P-Line. Be prepared to view many rare (and even color!) views
of the P-Line. Learn why the Soo Line backed their trains into
Montello and view rare photos of a special consist that visited
Marquette County around WWI. This and more, will be included
in the presentation, being held at the Montello Safety Building
(in the basement of the courthouse). This program is being sponsored
by the Marquette County Historical Society. Refreshments will
be served. If you’re
interested in branch line railroading, at its best, then be
sure not to miss this program.
