An unsual late afternoon-arriving T005's three motors take headroom on the north end of the yard |
| Description: |
This was WSOR 4011, one of two ex-UP units acquired late in 2007. Crossing replacement at Blair/Wilson/Williamson/John Nolen (all one five-way cluster**** of a crossing) on the Isthmus resulted in this unusual late-afternoon appearance of the manifest up from Janesville. |

L867 winds through |
| Description: |
I heard these guys on the scanner while I was waiting on the 1st-813 at Wisconsin Dells, saying they were going to head from Baraboo to Reedsburg. They made better time than I was expecting, and after coming down US-12 and then west on 136 I had to come all the way here to get ahead of them. |

...and that's all there is to the westbound L867. Grain is the lifeblood of the railroad at Rock Springs now, the "Pink Lady" ballast trains are a thing of the past. |

Crossing the Baraboo, westbound |
| Description: |
The track winds through the Baraboo River Valley and crosses over it three times in less than a mile just west of Rock Springs, but unfortunately the views of the other two bridges are obstructed with heavy overgrowth. |

Take it to the end of the line |
| Description: |
L867 is shoving their three lumber loads over the Park Street crossing, the red board just before the next crossing west can be seen. The track continues for about a half-mile beyond that, but that portion hasn't been used in over ten years and is rumored to be being torn out later this year. West of there, C&NW abandoned the line as far as Camp Douglas in 1987. They're shoving to clear the switch to the run-around track in the foreground, they'll use that track to access the set-out track where the loads will be spotted for Hartje. |

Easing the Hartje loads down the set-out track |
| Description: |
This rickety stub-ended track has just enough room for the three centerbeams. Hartje's facility is located on Highway 33 a couple miles west of town, the contents will be transloaded onto trucks to complete the journey. |

He was using a long pole to do it which I've never seen WSOR crews do before, apparently this is a new thing? |
