A who's who of WSOR power |
| Description: |
From left, we have 4170, the class unit of what were the original six ex-CRIP SD40-2s acquired by the railroad in the early 2000s (then numbered 4001). It has been recently repainted into a special 40th Anniversary scheme. Then is 4219, ex-CP and the only red and gray unit with a low headlight. 6334 is one of the two Helm lease units (6313 is coupled behind it) than has been on the property since 2017. 4181, trailing the five-unit power move, is ex-BN and one of the last units acquired by the railroad in the Gardner era. 3947, facing off with the lead unit of the power move on the same track, is the first "new" unit brought on to the property under Watco ownership. |

Target sighted! |
| Description: |
I've been trying to find 4170 since it was released following its 40th Anniversary repaint last month. It will later be added to T004's train, although unfortunately not leading. |

40 Years Safely Serving Our Communities With Pride |
| Description: |
I really like this 40th Anniversary scheme and really wanted to catch it as soon as I saw the first photos of it. Notable features are the gray roof, Watco logos on the sides and end of the long hood, and white stripes on the rear plow. Notably lacking (and a telltale sign that this wasn't done at Horicon) are the "YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AND THE OBLIGATION TO WORK SAFELY" notices that were above the steps on all red and gray repaints prior to this and 4197. |

Going-away shot |
| Description: |
Of course would rather it was leading, but we can still see the straight striping (rather like NS' "Catfish Whiskers") and red goose logo (only the second one on the roster with that, after 4219) on the short hood. Kind of unusual for WSOR units to have the horn midway along the long hood as well, most have it mounted on top of the cab. |
