What was the heaviest steam power used through Elroy-Sparta and Rochester (surely not the Northerns, but maybe the Berkshires)?
The Class J freight locomotives and the Class E Pacifics on the passenger. I am doing this from memory without a chart in front of me. None of the heavy locomotives ever went in the western half of Wisconsin (Wyeville was the extreme limit.). The CStPM&O 600 Class heavy Pacifics went into Elroy and south of there, but not down the Sparta line. As Pacifics went, they were monsters, but they did not go to Sparta. (The Berkshires were assigned only to the Southern Illinois Divsion and never went anywhere else in regular service.
