You will get the coordinates to this location once you complete the La Crosse Railroad History Adventure Lab, if you have completed the adventure prior to me placing this bonus and can't access the final location please message me and I will send it to you.
You will be seeking a silver nano container, cache can be accessed year round and will be off the trail system nearby by 15 feet.
Continuing with the railroad tour of La Crosse the final for this adventure lab brings you near the railroad bridge that used to connect the Milwuakee road main line running east and west across the Mississippi to the lucrative business district downtown and the Freighthouse depot nearby. The bridge remained abandoned and neglected for many years and was impassable until recently when it became part of a bridge trail that connects south Riverside to north Riverside and has become a key part of the redevelopment of the north Riverside area that is currently happening. The bridge sees many pieces of inspirational graffiti and as you search you will see some on the sides.
Railroad History:
In April of 1852, the La Crosse & Milwaukee Road was charted between the respective cities. While the vast majority of tracks had been completed to New Lisbon, Wisconsin by 1857, the connection to the Mississippi River still lacked. This connection came in 1858 when the final 61 miles of track were completed between New Lisbon and La Crosse. After the completion, the railroad filed for bankruptcy and became the Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad in 1861. While this was going on, a bridge was built across the Mississippi River for the St. Paul & Chicago Railroad in 1873. Soon after the completion between St. Paul and La Crescent (opposite of La Crosse) and the bridge, the two railroads merged forming the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. These lines created an extremely competitive railroad between the Milwaukee and St. Paul. By 1902, the line was becoming increasingly busy. As a result, it was double tracked in its entirety between St. Paul and Milwaukee with the exception of the Mississippi and Black River Bridges (which were rebuilt that year). By 1912, with the looming pacific extension the railroad was renamed the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific Railroad. (CMStP&P)
