The Cedar Creek module highlights a distinctive piece of Milwaukee Road history near Winona, Minnesota. Once a double‑track bridge, the structure now carries only a single track across the creek, a reminder of the railroad’s evolving operations in the Driftless Region. Modeled to Free‑mo standards, the bridge scene captures the heavy steelwork of the girders, weathered from decades of service, and the natural setting of Cedar Creek below. The module balances historical accuracy with scenic detail, showing how railroads adapted infrastructure over time while still maintaining vital connections across waterways.

From an operational perspective, the single‑track conversion adds character and realism to the layout. Trains must negotiate the narrowed crossing, creating opportunities for dispatching challenges and authentic traffic flow during exhibitions. The Cedar Creek bridge module becomes a focal point for operators and spectators alike, illustrating both the engineering heritage of the Milwaukee Road and the living history of railroading in southeastern Minnesota. By blending technical precision with regional storytelling, it stands as a tribute to the resilience of local rail lines and the artistry of Free‑mo modeling.
