Originally the UP line crossed the river at Riparia, where the CSP connection was. When the dams were built, the crossing was moved downriver to Pataha, but UP still had it's line up to Hay and LaCrosse.

Who knows? Maybe smarter people will realize that moving logs by rail is more environmentally friendly than moving logs by road, but again it's not really about what's best for the environment - it's more of an Agenda 21 thing behind the EPA's interference in getting the Jaype line back to service.
