The mighty Mikado |
| Description: |
The 1003 crew is expert at putting on epic smoke shows with lots of loud chugging despite the small, light photo freight consists that are usually all 1003 hauls. I believe its last proper excursion was an AAPRCO charter in 2001. It also made an appearance on the Circus World Museum circus train in 2002. |

Even when I catch WSOR trains moving in Janesville, they're still led by Armour Yellow |
| Description: |
I think this was T006 based on the boxcars up front, but it could be some mishmash of T004 and T006 since with how much switching they do at Milton and at the Rotamer siding, it's rare for any consist that gets yarded at Janesville to remotely resemble what left Madison and Horicon earlier that day. |

Belle of the ball finally gets to strut her stuff |
| Description: |
On the west (head) end of GSKNEV-15 which arrived at South Janesville on the morning of Sunday the 17th was another KCS unit in "Southern Belle" paint, and this one was unique! During the lockdown phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, 4009 received this special version of the scheme with a "Dual Flags" motif (similar to CP's with the US/Canada flags) and a dedication to KCS's "Resilient and Essential" employees. The other side has the "compass" below the cab numbers display "S" and the same dedication in Spanish. While the train was parked at the yard, 4009 was barely visible from public property and never well-sunlit, so myself and many other local railfans were gnashing their teeth hoping it would move (a) in daylight and (b) while we were free to go catch it. I lucked out, getting done at my afternoon dentist's appointment about half an hour before the heads up post that they were on the move (they didn't find any damage from the gnashing, btw). |

| Title: |
Beavers on the River |
| Description: |
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that CP is giving at least a few of their SD40-2s the new Golden Beaver dip, along with PTC capability that makes them able to lead on U.S. mainlines once again. Also notice the DMVW car first up in the train, the previous day a westbound CP manifest had three ex-CN SD60Fs heading for service on that road. |
