Rosendale-Brandon School District Bus Disobeys Signals
Title:  Rosendale-Brandon School District Bus Disobeys Signals
Description:  Despite the fact that a train was obviously approaching and the lights of the signals were flashing, a bus driver from the Rosendale-Brandon School District figured he could get across before the gates came down. This time he was right.

Welded Rail Installed Between Ripon and Oshkosh
Title:  Welded Rail Installed Between Ripon and Oshkosh
Description:  During the first weeks of August 2019, the WSOR has been replacing its jointed rail with welded rail. Along with the rail replacement they have been replacing the grade crossings. This view is toward the Pickett CoOp (currently United CoOp) from Hillside Road. The siding to the CoOp is still in place, and receiving cars. I realize this is better for the WSOR, but I am going to miss the rockin' and rollin' on the jointed rail.
