Viewing Album:  Ex-C&NW Tracks Around Madison
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:10/8/1989 - 12/31/2022
Album Info:Most of the Chicago & Northwestern's lines in and around Wisconsin's capital city are a shell of their former selves thanks to abandonments by C&NW itself and later Union Pacific. WSOR leases from UP several branches that are stubs of these former main lines; to Reedsburg, Cottage Grove, and industries on the south side, and gamely keeps them alive. The former C&NW Monona Yard between E. Johnson Street and Commercial Avenue serves as the base of Madison area operations.

Title:  A look at WAMX 4177 as L463 waits for L469 to clear their path into the yard
Description:  This was formerly WSOR 4008. This is also my first catch of one of the WSOR SD40-2s in motion since the roster was fully WAMX-ized toward the end of last year. Thankfully they retained the classic WSOR red and gray paint scheme, which has held up relatively well thanks to the quality work done at their Horicon shops.
