T006 shoves their cars for the UP into the interchange track |
Description: |
In a move I've never seen before, this train arrived at Janesville backwards. They ran around and set out most of their cars at the siding north of Rotamer Road. |

Old and Graying |
Description: |
The WSOR 30th Anniversary unit's special paint scheme has not aged well, with most of the nose and long hood decals peeled away or discolored. To add insult to injury, a mismatched all-gray door has been installed on the front conductor's side of the cab. Despite its less-than-stellar appearance, the former 4030 still earns its keep for WSOR's "new" (since 2012) parent company, Watco, as it pulls train T7 across Whitney Way bound for Prairie du Chien. |

T006 returning to the Waukesha Sub main after working the industrial park |
Description: |
This spur was constructed in 2004 to serve Cargill and United Ethanol. In all my years railfanning, I'd never seen a train down here before. Surprisingly, the work is being done by T006 (the Madison-Janesville train) rather than T003 or T004, which pass by here as part of their regular route to/from Horicon via Waukesha. |

Shoving the United pickup back to the rest of the train |
Description: |
The 30th Anniversary decals on WAMX 4183 (previously WSOR 4030, prior to that WSOR 4025 numbered/painted for that anniversary in 2005) held up reasonably well for 5-6 years, then started to look really bad around sometime in 2016. Either the short hood has recently been touched up, or the white goose logo that was originally on the nose has peeled off entirely. Underneath it all, the red and gray paint is still in good condition, so if they'd just paint that conductor's side door and scrape the decals all the way off it would look pretty good! |

T006 power shoves their CP interchange cars down to Rockport Road |
Description: |
Never seen red and gray power down this track before. Although WSOR technically owns this part of it, in the past CP's (formerly ICE/IMRL) local has come into the WSOR yard to perform the interchange work. |

Backlit, but it's uncommon to see red and gray on this set of rails |
Description: |
T006 shoves their CP interchange cars into position so CP's local can grab them without coming into the yard (Must not be any cars being handed off the other way). Bridge in the background is WSOR's "mainline" to Chicago via Fox Lake and Rondout, IL. |

Again, despite the track being WSOR-owned at this point, historically it hasn't been too common to see red and gray power going over this crossing. |
