FORT ATKINSON, Iowa – A man on a farm tractor was killed in a collision with a Canadian Pacific freight train. Initial details were sketchy. The accident was about 2:30 p.m. six miles west of Fort Atkinson at Jackson Junction. The rail line and State Highway 42 run side by side. The CP line is one of two routes acquired by Canadian Pacific in 2008 from the Dakota Minnesota & Eastern. The former DM&E lines connect South Dakota and Mississippi River trunk lines at Winona in Minnesota and McGregor in Iowa.
