Viewing Album:  The WSOR Northern Division
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:9/17/2007 - 9/17/2024
Album Info:This is where it all started for WSOR. Former Milwaukee Road trackage connects Glendale Yard at North Milwaukee to Horicon, where branches radiate west to Cambria (a former through line once connected to Portage), and north to Oshkosh/Markesan. The Plymouth Subdivision also goes north out of Glendale Yard, with ownership alternating between WSOR and Canadian National. A short stub of a former industrial branch through the heart of downtown Milwaukee is still operated from that yard, as well. A few classic and/or unique locomotives can usually be found sitting outside the shops in Horicon.

Description:  There are a lot of communities in the southern two-thirds of Wisconsin that would not have the level of freight rail service (if any at all) that they do today if not for the state and county-level rail transit preservation efforts that began in the early '80s and culminated in today's WSOR.

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.
