Byron Hill (railroad location)
Byron Hill is a railroad feature in eastern Wisconsin between the town of Byron and the city of Fond du Lac.
The hill is on CN Rail's Wisconsin Central Division (ex-Soo Line Railroad) and features as many as 25 trains per day.
Byron Hill is noteworthy in that helper engines are sometimes still used to assist trains making it over the grade.[1][2]
