Nice day on the water |
| Description: |
L469 crosses the short bridge over the Yahara River's channel between Lake Waubesa and Upper Mud Lake. This bridge could previously be only glimpsed from the Beltline Highway in Madison. It was inaccessible from public property until the opening of the new Lower Yahara River Trail boardwalk last August. |

Quintet on the fuel ramp |
| Description: |
Bracketing new kid on the block 4197 are 4182 and 4181, the ex-BN duo that were the last locomotive acquisition by the Gardner-era WSOR, numbered 4012 and 4013 and remaining in their Cascade Green until 2017 or so. Then is 3928, one of two GP39-2s added to the fleet in 2014 in ugly patched UP yellow, it received the 35th Anniversary scheme in June, 2015. A yard crew has just tacked 4192 onto the end. It is one of four ex-C&O SD40M-2s (built as SD40s) acquired by the railroad in 2007-08 as WSOR 4076-79, re# WAMX 4189-4192. 4189/90 have since been sent to service on other Watco properties (at least one of them to the Grand Elk Railroad in Michigan). |
