I've been meaning to scan this, and finally got to it this morning. It's an old track diagram of St. Croix Junction. You can see on this one where the MILW used to cross over to head up to Bayport.

I love technical drawings. Although, my historical knowledge is limited. What area does this cover? Is it most of the same trackage existing now?

By the way, congratulations on the first topic/post in this section.

That's the are under HWY 61. I have a mapquest version of it on my page: http://www.trainweb.org/diez-mon/rrspots.html

It's fairly similar today. That MILW crossover over the CB&Q is gone. I believe there's one more crossover, via switch, to the left of the diagram. I can't seem to find newer track diagram of that area.. got it around here somewhere. I think the BNSF site has one somewhere on their site too.

Also, the track to Bayport is no longer there. You can still see evidence of it though. I drove it with the Jeep a couple years ago but I think it's pretty well grown over by now.

I think Hudson Leighton may have sent it to me. I've had it so long, I can't remember

I did get some old track diagrams of Stillwater and the Skally by calling BN, they copied and sent them out to me!
