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.

Getting late
Title:  Getting late
Description:  The crew will switch the yard until dusk, then tie the train down. So much for chasing them back to Milwaukee in the golden light.

WATCo's WSOR - Not too shabby!
Title:  WATCo's WSOR - Not too shabby!
Description:  Although changes away from the Gardner era continue as WATCo accelerates its relettering and renumbering of the WSOR roster into its own (3869 and 3871 were 3810 and 3812, respectively), the red and gray still reigns supreme. 3871 was even given a modified version of the scheme in place of its ratty old NdM blue when it was renumbered.

Peek-a-boo L249
Title:  Peek-a-boo L249
Description:  This job came up from Milwaukee, crossed the CN at Slinger and left cars for L599 to take to Horicon on the pass on the west side of town. Now they are working the yard at Ackerville before heading back east. This is my first encounter with any of the unrepainted ex-UP GP38-2s.

Title:  L249 power at Ackerville, WAMX 3895/3891
Description:  3895 is ex-C&NW, and might see ex-CNW rails again if it's ever assigned to Madison. 3891 is ex-Penn Central/Conrail, but still found its way to UP by way of EMD's lease fleet.

Call of the wild goose
Title:  Call of the wild goose
Description:  Apart from being one of only two units in the "updated" WSOR scheme with one fat gray chevron in place of the narrow ones on the short hood, I really wanted to catch 3871 leading because it is one of only two or three units left on the railroad with a well-tuned Leslie RS3L horn.
