T004 comes around the wye and enters the Fox Lake Sub |
| Description: |
I'd thought the five-unit power move I'd seen coming into town from the north earlier was T004, so I was surprised to hear this train announce their approach to town. I can't imagine 4174 was their only power out of Horicon, but 4180 and 4170 were picked up from the fuel ramp here in Janesville. |

| Description: |
3002 is one of a handful of the 3000-series GP38ACs and GP38-2s to receive the "Golden Beaver" scheme. Most of them were in the old "Action Red" (with or without the Multimark) until the past decade, when they received the then-current logoless red with white "CANADIAN PACIFIC" lettering. |

WAMX 4178 leads L468 out of the yard and across Johnson Street |
| Description: |
This is the former WSOR 4009, an ex-Milwaukee Road unit. It once had a dedication to Lucy Stone Gardner, late wife of former WSOR owner/CEO Bill Gardner, on each side of the long hood immediately behind the cab. It was blotted out soon after he sold the railroad to Watco in 2012. Further pictures of this train are in the album "WSOR Waterloo Subdivision." |
