After catching them coming into Madison long-hood forward, I headed up to the main line. WB oil MT 581 is stopped on the siding. More pictures of these trains can be found in the album "Canadian Pacific ex-MILW Mainline 2020-2022". |

Trains on the siding (581 with NS 1800, hidden by 4008), main, and M&P tracks. 281 will cross over main to siding in front of 581 and recrew at Three Light. G64 will follow it through the crossover and go into the yard, leaving the main clear for Amtrak 7 to make its Portage station stop. |

| Description: |
It won't be long now-281 is clear and to my suprise, the dispatcher snuck him in ahead of Amtrak. |

G64 comes home from a day on the Watertown Sub |
| Description: |
Now we get to see 4008's "good" (not) side of the cab. The last two digits of the number appear to be scrawled on with chalk, not sure what happened with this three-year-old paint scheme. This job works mainline customers at least as far east as Watertown, perhaps Oconomowoc, on the days when it doesn't work the M&P. |

Rolling meet by the east switch |
| Description: |
Eastbound manifest 288 is dragging its heels on the siding, it won't have to come to a full stop before the short local clears the switch. Why did the local get the main, you ask? Because it's riding the "lunar" signal behind westbound stack train 199. |

CP 4008 trundles into town, following close behind 199 on the main |
| Description: |
I could see 199's last few container cars clear the crossing as I drove down Ontario St. It's anyone's guess what that tag job on the first car is supposed to be. |
