Rock Formations at Badger Mining |
| Description: |
Two bay covered hoppers, used for hauling fracturing sand, await on the back side of a granite formation. The Badger mining Fairwater quarry ships a large quantity of sand. There have also been sightings of box cars spotted at the quarry. Whether they came there loaded or picke up loads there, is unknown to me. A pair of box cars are on the right hand side of the cut of cars, though they could be waiting to go to Del Monte in Markesan. |

| Description: |
Along the former Milwaukee Road line into Oshkosh, the WSOR rolls across a bridge that allows the local farmer to access the field on the other side of the fill without needing to travel the local roads. With the size of modern farming equipment, the bridge is really only good to clear recreation vehicles. |

WSOR 4005 |
| Description: |
Another close look for those thinking about building a model of one of these WSOR units. This unit came to the WSOR in 2002. The loco was originally purchased by the Rock Island in 1972 as the 4793, part of the 4790 - 4799 order from EMD. The unit then became ICG 6043 after the Rock liquidation. After the ICG, the unit became EMDX 6043 before going to the WSOR. This unit was one of only 10 SD40-2's the Rock ordered new. I have conflicting dates regarding when this order was made by the Rock. An older locomotive roster from the early 1980's by Kalmbach Publishing indicates 1972, but the book "The WSOR Story" gives the original purchase year as 1973. |

Pink Lady Ballast |
| Description: |
During the summer of 2015, "Pink Lady" ballast began to make an appearance on the WSOR line from Horicon to Oshkosh. This shot was taken at the Burr Oak Road grade crossing in Fisk. Some areas have had a heavier application of the ballast from a quarry near Rock Springs, Wi. The WSOR had been operating the line, which the quarry is located on, via a lease with the Union Pacific. The Wisconsin D.O.T. secured an agreement to purchase the line from the U.P. for $30 million in 2014. The WSOR is still the operator of the former C&NW corridor which runs from Madison to Reedsberg, and now Pink Lady ballast can be found spreading throughout the WSOR system, as seen here on this former Milwaukee Road line. |

A train of ballast hoppers being pulled past the Badger Mining Corporation loop track at Utley. Though Utley is still recognized as a geographic location, the city that was once located here no longer exists. This shot was taken from the location of the Utley single room school house which was built in 1844 and closed in 1942. In the late 1800's, Utley had a population of around 500, with the towns main activity being centered around The Wisconsin Granite Company's Quarry No. 69 ( 1909 The Reporter, Volume 42). The town gradually ceased to exist over the next few decades, with the school outlasting the community, serving the children of the rural surrounding area. The quarry mined black granite for use in larger cities, mainly Chicago. Today the quarrying in the immediate vicinity is done by Badger Mining, shipping a tremendous amount of sand, but black granite can also be found piled up. |
