August 29, 2016. Today the last ziggurat is smoothed and the landscape rolls gently (or otherwise) from Iron Ridge to Fond Du Lac. There are only about 2-1/2 miles of scenery to install, from MP 137 down to 134 or so. Happily much of it is farmland although the village of Neda needs to be filled out.
The great end-of-world gap SW of Jones' siding (Limestone Country) has been filled with yet another drumlin, a lake and a dam, per prototype. It's very satisfactory.
Mayville is well behind us now and scenery extends down to the Highway 67 crossing just south of MP 137. Google Earth revealed an actual bridge in the causeway (MP 137.75) over a live creek draining the swamp east of the landfill, so that's in.
In other work, signalling has been revised at the joint trackage over the freeway in FDL and some whistleposts have been repositioned. Whistleposts at private crossings have been reduced and in some places replaced by road gates.
Here's a look at the Badger State Cement plant at Fond Du Lac:
