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. |

What's wrong with this picture? |
Description: |
A series of pleasant April days with highs in the 60s and even 70s had the spring greenup nicely underway...then we were rudely slapped in the face with low 30s and snow on Saturday, April 27th! Fortunately, accumulations were minimal and generally not on the too-warm pavement. Still, what happened to the beautiful spring landscape I was shooting trains in just the day before? |

T003 dropping their train at the west switch to the Rotamer siding |
Description: |
They'll pick up the cut of covered hoppers there. This siding was built in 2015, stretching from Rotamer Road to Milton-Harmony Town Line Road. The Madison/Horicon trains often leave cars for each other here, freeing up space in the yard and reducing the amount of time road trains have to spend there. |

Chase continued from the "WSOR Madison Subdivision" album. I'm used to seeing the T004 make multiple set-outs at Milton and the Rotamer siding, but still have plenty of train left to take through Janesville and onto the J-line toward Chicago. Been awhile since I saw them terminate at the yard. |
