Still Got It
Title:  Still Got It
Description:  The old-school UP paint on these SD60s is rather faded, but as a 1980s classic myself, it's good to see them in service. UP still has all but one (a wreck write-off) of the original 85 units they ordered from EMD, although they have been renumbered from their original 6000-series. At one point they rostered an additional 55 acquired as part of the C&NW merger, but those have since been sold off. They are a bit difficult to find in the Midwest, those based in the Twin Cities area seldom venture east of Adams in Wisconsin and almost never appear on the east-west main (Geneva Sub) out of Proviso. Not sure where on the vast UP system the rest of these units hide out.

UP 2172
Title:  UP 2172
Description:  Two weeks after sighting my first-ever UP SD60, I get my first one leading! This kind of power seldom gets east of Adams. The defunct Cloverdale post office was near this location along State Highway 21 a couple miles west of Necedah.

Title:  UP 2189 marks my first personal sighting of a UP SD60
Description:  These seldom get east of Altoona, and even more seldomly east of Adams, and many of them (primarily the ex-CNW ones that were native to these rails) were sold to NS for conversion to SD60E.

L581 power rolls into the yard to grab their train and blast off
Title:  L581 power rolls into the yard to grab their train and blast off
Description:  CN's ex-Oakway SD60s have proven elusive for me (only caught two leading until this day) ever since they were brought onto the railroad in mid-2012. Nice to catch three of them in one shot, especially considering that in the last couple of years CN has retired most if not all of the GE units of similar age (ex-UP/C&NW C40-8s, ex-BNSF/ATSF C40-8Ws) that they acquired around the same time.

Description:  With most of the Class Is recently casting off a lot of what still seems to me like modern widecab, 4K+ HP EMD power, it's nice to see the SD75Is still around...they were extremely common power on the CN Waukesha Sub in my early years of railfanning.

Northbound on the ex-MILW Valley Sub, CN 5430 hammers the diamond with the ex-Soo Line Superior Sub
Title:  Northbound on the ex-MILW Valley Sub, CN 5430 hammers the diamond with the ex-Soo Line Superior Sub
Description:  Junction City is one of Wisconsin's busiest railroad hot spots. Over the course of various mergers through the years, both lines here fell under the control of Wisconsin Central LTD in the late 1980s. Their flag fell to CN in 2001. Nineteen years, 354 days elapsed between the last time I shot a train here, and this day. Those pictures are the first ones in this album. I didn't intend for it to happen, but it just kept getting kicked down the road. For some reason I had it in my head that it was a long ways away from me living in Madison, even though it's really only another hour beyond Wisconsin Dells, where I've shot CP(KC) trains on a quite regular basis over the years. The maroon and gold SD45s may be gone, but this pair of SD60s makes for a nice link back to the days when high-horsepower, spartan cab EMDs were the rule rather than the exception. I'll definitely be back again on a much shorter interval!

CN 5430 disturbs the peace of this quaint central Wisconsin town
Title:  CN 5430 disturbs the peace of this quaint central Wisconsin town
Description:  Crossing County Highway P/old US Highway 10 (now routed on a 4-lane bypass just to the north). They're used to it, as numerous CN trains pass through every day, mostly on the ex-Soo Line Superior Sub, but L581 northbound and southbound is one of several daily on the ex-Milwaukee Road Valley Sub. Junction City is classic small-town Wisconsin, with an approximately 1:1 (or possibly higher) ratio of taverns to residents. Many of them have local and/or vintage beer signs, such as Point Beer just behind the crossing signal, and (hard to see) PBR just behind that. The one thing that sets Junction City apart in this day and age is the extremely vibrant railroad presence, while so many similarly-sized communities just have a dirt-paved bike path where C&NW or Milwaukee Road trains once rumbled through, or perhaps stopped at the station. It's all freight in Junction City for over 50 years now, but the action is nearly continuous 24/7/365.

Crossing the Wisconsin River where it flows out of Lake DuBay
Title:  Crossing the Wisconsin River where it flows out of Lake DuBay
Description:  Lake DuBay is a reservoir named for John Baptiste DuBay, a prominent early Wisconsin businessman/fur trader/Indian interpreter. In 1857 he was charged with murder for killing a man in a property dispute. Although acquitted, he was ruined by the ordeal and died at his homestead in Knowlton. This bridge is one of the scenic highlights of the Valley Sub, but never having chased on the line before I was too late to get more than handheld video here on the northbound trip.
