Tomahawk crossing
The surface of the Tomahawk River is a mix of open water and lingering ice. BR401 is on its way back north after picking up loaded cars of LP SmartSide from the LP mill on the south side of Tomahawk. Lake Mohawksin is formed by the impounded waters of the Wisconsin River where a couple other tributaries join the Wisconsin. The lake is almost entirely ringed by railroad tracks. This structure is a little brother to larger bridges crossing the Wisconsin immediately to the south, ex-MT&W on this line and ex-MILW (now a trail). The span does however best a shorter bridge over the Somo River, on the Tomahawk Railway branch to the PCA mill, just to the west. March 28, 2024.
