Rail traffic rolls through Fort McCoy daily, including many Canadian Pacific trains.
As this train made its way through the post, dozens of Fort McCoy community members were out to watch it slowly ride through.
Fort McCoy’s motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.”
Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
