CITX 3059 second unit |
Description: |
They had the power in the right order! This locomotive served on the WSOR out of Janesville for awhile in 2007, as GCFX 3059. |

CITX 3064 switching the sand loader |
Description: |
My first (and thus far only) photo in Wisconsin Northern territory. With a sand plant seemingly every few miles, the railroad's traffic would appear to have outgrown the pair of sharp-looking Progressive Rail GP15-1s they started with. |

Night has fallen and the L2 job has parked |
Description: |
Finally, I found the train I had been hearing switching on the scanner for over an hour while around Bloomer. Same spot and same lead unit as when I was up here two years ago, and the same result. Just as I got set up to wait, hoping they would get rolling south toward Norma even in the darkness (although the main appeared to be blocked by the sand train sitting north of Bloomer), they shut the headlights off and left in a crew van. |

CITX 3069 under the loader for Superior Silica Sands |
Description: |
My first two (and until this trip, only) photos on the WN were of a similar green and silver unit, 3064, at this location. Behind it is yet another former SD45 rebuilt to SD40-2 specifications, this one still in UP yellow. Others' photos identify it as CITX 2811. |

Four blue EMDs pass a green one and a yellow one |
Description: |
This photo encapsulates exactly why a visit to the WN was on my bucket list. Have I mentioned it was absolute nirvana for a fan of classic, colorful standard cab EMD power like myself? After making pickups at the northernmost two of the four closely spaced sand plants, this train bypassed the southern two including Superior Silica here at New Auburn. |

Just slap it on there and send 'er out! |
Description: |
The conductor's side of CITX 3071 features one of the more crude patch jobs I have seen on an active locomotive. They stenciled their reporting marks over the cab-side number, scrawled a new number further down, and left the old GCFX reporting marks clearly visible in between. |

Description: |
Waited all day for Amtrak 7, which was to have the full consist of 261 fleet Hiawatha cars on their way back from Train Festival. This, the first freight train all freakin' day, showed up just in time to block my view of #7 as it passed on the other main! |

HLCX 6305 poses with the WSOR yard sign |
Description: |
A grab shot from my driver's side window while in traffic on E. Johnson Street. The low resolution of my crappy phone camera renders the number unreadable but the ex-MPI paint identifies this as HLCX 6305. It and 6328 have recently joined 6313 and 6334 in service on the WSOR, providing some variety among the red and gray brigade. |

This 8,000' siding was installed in 2015. The T004 and T006 trains often set out/interchange cars here rather than take them all the way to the Janesville yard. |

HLCX 6313 eases Friday's T004 around the wye and onto the Chicago line |
Description: |
Since most of the traffic out of Horicon is Chicago-bound anyways, instead of yarding the train they'll have it make a quick pick-up/set-out and send it on its way with the same T004 or T004R crew. This even though the Janesville-Chicago train is nominally supposed to be the T002. |

HLCX 6313 approaches the Palm St. crossing (or is it Racine St. or Johnson St.?) |
Description: |
This little zig-zag street has three names in about 3/4 mile, as it changes to keep consistent with Janesville's east-west and north-south grid although it does not physically connect to any other segments of any of the three named streets. In my opinion the blue and maroon lease unit fits in nicely with the WSOR's red and gray. |

(Censored) |
Description: |
My reaction to seeing that they put one of the stupid gray doors on 4223, the SD45 carbody. I'm not sure if even 4170 (the new 40th Anniversary unit) makes up for this, since I probably won't catch it leading until it looks as ragged as 4183 does now. |

Description: |
6334 and 6313 have been on the WSOR (6313 apparently disappeared for a while, but came back) since early 2017. I'm still annoyed I never got a good shot of 6305 (MPI paint) during its brief stint in 2019. |

Not the shot I wanted of HLCX 6313 leading an all-grain T008 |
Description: |
...but the shot I got. I'd lined up my shot, set the focus, pressed the shutter...and nothing, because I'd forgotten to flip on the power switch on my T8i. I drove ahead and waited at Arena for another chance, but they seemed to stop off to the west of me, and I had other things to attend to. |
