We think that this photo shows work being done on the approach to the tunnel to be dug for a C&NW right of way at Tunnel City, Wisconsin. Eventually that tunnel was damaged and the C&NW was allowed by the Milwaukee Road to use their nearby tunnel. Interesting narrow gauge work train!
Scott Janz: At this time, contractors are doing the work for the RR’s. The Adams line was mostly built to double track standards, including the tunnel at Tunnel City, WI. This view shows work on the west side.

UP now joins the CP route just west of Tunnel City. And it shares that route all the way to La Crosse, WI.
