The train gives quite a horn show to the (probably annoyed) residents of the Riva Apartments on Cheryl Parkway, most of whom likely assumed the line was out of service for good. The patch over the UP number consists of strips of duct tape. |

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. |
