WSOR 2053
Title:  WSOR 2053
Description:  The 2053 and crew pass by the mini-yard by the UW Heater plant. It's the middle of the afternoon on a school day- the UW-Madison students are out in full force, jaywalking and trespassing on the train tracks. The crew must be especially alert in this area.

WSOR 4054 & 2053 on MAJ
Title:  WSOR 4054 & 2053 on MAJ
Description:  Today's MAJ has SD40-2 4054 on the point for the trip back to Janesville. This unit is one of the WSOR's most recent acquisitions, and her coat of paint is less than a week old. Snow, 12 degree air and 30mph winds made this a rough shot to get.

WSOR 2053 at Jct A
Title:  WSOR 2053 at Jct A
Description:  With the conductor on board again, the engineer of this WSOR train eases 24 covered hoppers into motion. The train is snaking through Junction A on Madison's east side. I'm standing on a bike path and, though you can't see them in the picture, several walkers, bladers and bikers have paused to watch the train go by.

WSOR 2053 at Jct. A
Title:  WSOR 2053 at Jct. A
Description:  It's Sunday afternoon, and a WSOR crew takes 24 WSOR covered hoppers out the Waterloo line. This location is known as Junction A, and it's where the Waterloo line branches off from the Cottage Grove sub. The Waterloo line, ex-MILW, was once the route of the Milwaukee-Madison Hiawathas. The Cottage Grove sub was CNW's Milwaukee-Madison line. The WSOR now operates both lines.

Title:  WSOR 4006, 4050 and 2053 on MJ
Description:  Power idles on the head end of what will eventually be the Janesville-bound wayfreight. Now that the UP's ballast trains are running for the season, it should be more common to see the JM/MJ trains in daylight.

Title:  Cool morning at the yard
Description:  Two SD40-2s and an SD20 idle on the main with a Janesville train while the 3806 waits further back in the yard. WSOR's business train is at the right, and two of their bi-levels accompany a privately-owned car.

Description:  The JM crew pulls a cut of WSOR sand hoppers out the north end of the E. Johnson street yard. The gondola to the right with the FRED hanging on the rear is the last car on the MJ train.

Rise and Shine
Title:  Rise and Shine
Description:  The sun's just peaking over the clouds on the horizon this morning as the JM heads through the isthmus. The crew has a heavy train of 82 cars this morning. The train is about to cross Ingersoll street with some of Madison's priciest condos for a backdrop.

Morning Dew
Title:  Morning Dew
Description:  The JM crew is less than a mile from E. Johnson street and the WSOR's yard there. The sun had a brief stretch and yawn before pulling the cloudy covers back over its face this morning, evidenced by the barely visible capitol building in the background. The capitol looked amber in color less than 10 seconds before I took this shot, precisely why I came to this location. No biggie though... the 82-car train was a good enough show on its own.

WSOR 3806
Title:  WSOR 3806
Description:  Having safely set out a cut of loads on the Kohl center siding, the crew takes about a dozen more loads to be spotted in the UW-Heater plant (out of picture at right). Interestingly enough, this is the fourth grade crossing that the train has passed since leaving the yard 2-3 miles ago that passes diagonally through the middle of an intersection. Gotta love the city planning here...

Title:  WSOR 3806
Description:  The engineer carefully throttles and hits the breaks as several switch moves are made over the Park street overpass. This must be a tricky place to set out cars- the overpass is at the top of a small, relatively steep (for a railroad) hill.

WSOR 3806
Title:  WSOR 3806
Description:  The train heads to Middleton as the light of day disappears behind approaching storm clouds. Check out the gates at this crossing- They completely block traffic and will stop a car moving 35mph dead in its tracks. This is certainly an interesting way to keep cars from running the gates!
