Bonus BICB
Title:  Bonus BICB
Description:  I got a tip that this train was sitting here, waiting on the steam excursion to give up its track warrant just to the west. It consisted entirely of doublestack intermodal followed by a unit ethanol set (complete with buffer cars). Although the idea of GEVOs on a Class II still doesn't exactly sit well with me, the paint scheme looks good on them and they are rather clean compared to most of those belonging to the Class Is!

Westbound 674 light power move waits while it gives 280 the roll-by
Title:  Westbound 674 light power move waits while it gives 280 the roll-by
Description:  Can't quite make out the number on the lead unit. Unfortunate, since the first two digits are "72" which identifies it as one of the SD70ACUs recently rebuilt from ex-UP SD9043MACs.

CN 2275 and 2770 take the SW connection with M344 heading south on the Valley
Title:  CN 2275 and 2770 take the SW connection with M344 heading south on the Valley
Description:  Superior Sub runs left to right across the foreground, diamond with the Valley Sub is just visible in the lower left. Perhaps unique for a railroad diamond in Wisconsin in this day and age, connector tracks in all four quadrants are still in place and in service at Junction City, along with RTC-controlled sidings just to the south (visible ahead and to the left of 2275) on the Valley, and west on the Superior.

No, THAT way!
Title:  No, THAT way!
Description:  The crew has cut off 2275, to my confusion. To my further confusion, they proceeded to wye it to have it facing long-hood-forward westbound on the Whitehall Sub. After consulting with another area railfan, the only reason I can think of is that 2770 is not PTC-equipped, and they wanted 2275 facing forward to eventually lead the train east again and back into PTC territory.

M344 creaks around the curve on the connection to the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW)
Title:  M344 creaks around the curve on the connection to the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW)
Description:  The ex-GBW main continues to the right (east), but stub-ends just west of the former 17th Ave. N crossing (south of the two existing RR crossings on that road). About 2,800' of the line is removed up to just east of 10th Ave. N, where a tiny stub formed by the southwest quadrant connecting track to the ex-MILW Valley Sub still exists for some reason. Then the line is removed through the former location of the diamond (done almost immediately upon the acquision of the GBW/FRVR by WC in 1993). Additional connecting tracks on the east side of the ex-MILW line allow for service as far as Plover.

Description:  2029 is one of if not the last GECX ET44AC demonstrators still in blue and not "assimilated" into the CN scheme and roster. The 3300s are recent Wabtec rebuilds from Dash 9s, delivered starting in October, 2022. I had not previously been aware of this particular rebuild program!

Title:  CN 2857 leads the OSVVP-03 EB oil train over Buffalo Lake
Description:  This bridge, one of the scenic highlights of the Adams Sub, is quite the hidden gem being not visible or accessible from any major roads. You have to go into a dead-end subdivision on narrow, winding roads and find the small public boat launch from which it can be photographed.

Title:  CN 3801 is rear end DPU on a SB intermodal that followed the land barge
Description:  After the first southbound finally cleared the control point at Valley, I expected the NB intermodal there to get going. Instead, it kept waiting while the signals indicated another approaching southbound. Even so, this train caught me off guard with its quick approach so no shot of the head-end power.
