Heavy Snowfall |
Description: |
The WSOR turn to Oshkosh is working the array of tracks at the United Co-op/WATC Port and Terminal location. Look close and one can make out the roof of the fabric and pole building that is part of the United Co-op facility behind the train. |

WAMX 4174 |
Description: |
The locomotive set of the Horicon to Oshkosh turn runs east through a clearing at the end of Global parkway. The WSOR works the industrial park on the west side of Oshkosh along the former Milwaukee Road right of way. A snowstorm of wet and heavy snow is making the job a little more difficult. |

Just three engines in the Madison yard this pleasant fall afternoon |
Description: |
The 3947 has finally received its red and gray after several years roaming the WSOR system in shabby ex-UP yellow. Watco's take on the scheme does away with the thin chevron stripes, and moves the single fat gray chevron from the long hood to the short hood. 4174 was the WSOR 4005. |

T004 comes around the wye and enters the Fox Lake Sub |
Description: |
I'd thought the five-unit power move I'd seen coming into town from the north earlier was T004, so I was surprised to hear this train announce their approach to town. I can't imagine 4174 was their only power out of Horicon, but 4180 and 4170 were picked up from the fuel ramp here in Janesville. |
