WSOR 3808 |
Description: |
The M2 job approaches Second street, just shy of the switch for the connecting track to the E. Johnson street yard. The switch is lined normal right now, which would take them to the yard, but the M2 is taking the "back leg" today. Yarding their 50-some car train would be a pain if they came in the 'normal' way. |

Colorful lashup |
Description: |
There's no shortage of color in this lashup. The 40s belong to WSOR while the green loco, technically a GP10, is headed to WSOR's Horicon, WI shops for a paint job. The WSOR received this locomotive from the BNSF at Crawford. Contract paint work keeps the shops busy at Horicon and might be a reason why WSOR's newest additions to their roster (like Mean Mrs. Mustard here) don't wear the sharp red and silver WSOR scheme. |

Autumn colors came early this year... |
Description: |
A colorful lashup leads this Janesville-bound freight as it departs Madison. A J2 crew is working the return portion of this train today. Ordinarily it would have left town for Jville earlier in the morning, but the timing and 70 or so cars in the consist suggest that there was a lot of on-line work for the JM crew. |

WSOR 3802, 3806 on M2 |
Description: |
The M2 crew leads a handfull of cars just south of Olin avenue on WSOR's Central Soya spur. The boxcars are empties from Capital News, an outfit that prints both the Wisconsin State Journal and the Capital Times. Further back in the train are a couple of covered hoppers from Vita Plus. The switch in the foreground is for the former C&NW main that runs south from Madison through the communities of Fitchburg, Oregon and Brooklyn. Largely intact with a few grade-crossing exceptions, the line was rumored to re-open to serve a new business park. |
