Over the hills and through the woods |
Description: |
The WSOR's Plymouth Subdivision, part of the Milwaukee Road's line north from Milwaukee to Green Bay and the UP of Michigan, zig-zags its way through the scenic Kettle Moraine region of eastern Wisconsin. The line is no longer intact as a through route, but this section from Saukville to Plymouth, Elkhart Lake and Kiel owes its continued existence to the state of Wisconsin and WSOR. |

Close, but no cigar |
Description: |
I planned on catching Saturday's L463 after seeing Friday's L863 come in with the recently repainted 3947 trailing facing north, expecting they would turn back north with the same power set the next day. Well, I was half right. There was L463's crew going to work with the 4173, but the 3947 had been taken off overnight leaving the former WSOR 4004 to head to Reedsburg long-hood-forward. |
