Description:  They rarely move for me anymore, especially not when they're clean and in light like this. 4182 was the WSOR 4013, which never made it out of BN Cascade Green before it was relettered/numbered for the Watco roster.

Close, but no cigar
Title:  Close, but no cigar
Description:  I planned on catching Saturday's L463 after seeing Friday's L863 come in with the recently repainted 3947 trailing facing north, expecting they would turn back north with the same power set the next day. Well, I was half right. There was L463's crew going to work with the 4173, but the 3947 had been taken off overnight leaving the former WSOR 4004 to head to Reedsburg long-hood-forward.
