Hi All,

I am looking for prototype locations of icing stations in Wisconsin. I know of one that was in Milwaukee for the Milw, CNW had one in Oshkosh, and Soo had one at Stevens Point. Any others?

Many division points had icing facilities - The CB&Q had one at North La Crosse, WI. Reefers needed to topped off per the shipper instructions…

I think there was one in Altoona.

There is a photo of Portage Wisc in the Summer 2012 issue of Classic Trains. They Show an Icehouse so I would assume they iced reefers there.

CNW also had one in Green Bay, Soo had one in N. Fond du lac.Ice was cut from lake Winnebago for many years.
