Title:  WSOR 3802
Description:  The MALAM crew takes 6 cars through Madison's isthmus on their way west. On most days, the AM job will be done somewhere in the neighborhood of 1600, but scanner chatter suggests that this crew will die on hours someplace west of Madison on WSOR's Prairie sub.

WSOR 3802
Title:  WSOR 3802
Description:  Crew members on the MALPM job check out the mess that was formerly known as First street. The streets and the buildings may be changing, but there is one thing that will remain constant- as long as the WSOR is in town, the trains are going to keep running!

WSOR 3802
Title:  WSOR 3802
Description:  The crew of the MALPM picks up a covered hopper from the soon-to-close Royster Clark plant. The remainder of their train, which is made up tankers and covered hoppers, came from the town of Cottage Grove. Time will only tell how this area will look in the years to come. The neighbors of the Royster Clark plant, mostly homeowners, have been very vocally opposed to the plant for a long time. For now, the trains keep rolling...

WSOR corn sandwich!
Title:  WSOR corn sandwich!
Description:  Neither mosquitos nor hills nor sweat in my eyes could keep me from taking this shot. I'm 6'2", and this corn is absolutely dwarfing me as I'm standing straight up. Much of Wisconsin is suffering from a drought, but south-central WI is clearly doing fine. The exact location of this photo is unknown- I was biking in the middle of nowhere and turned down a long driveway to a farm to steal this shot. It's somewhere outside of Cottage Grove on the WSOR's short, but charismatic Cottage Grove sub.

WSOR 3802
Title:  WSOR 3802
Description:  The 3802 and its amazingly loud whistle usher a handfull of cars towards MX crossing at Olin Ave. on Madison's south side. This is the location of the junction between the former C&NW mainline from Janesville to Madison and WSOR's Central Soya spur. There has been talk in recent years about putting the former C&NW mainline back into service to reach a business park south of Madison, but it looks like a jungle for the time being. Out of picture to the left is Madison's first public pool. The pool looks fantastic, and, probably owing to high temperatures and beach closures, it's a smash-hit in its first summer of operation.

WSOR 3802
Title:  WSOR 3802
Description:  Having finished their switching duties at the UW Heater, the crew leads the 3802 and their short train west out of downtown Madison. Whereas many railfans have taken photos from the shaky pedestrian suspension bridge here, few have perfected it as has Matt Kuchta. Thus, this location is know to some (read:me) as Kuchta Curve.

WSOR 3802 on M1
Title:  WSOR 3802 on M1
Description:  The M1 crew pulls their train back out into the wind and snow after passing under the Monona Terrace convention center. This crew just got finished switching the UW-Madison Heater plant on Charter street, and now they're taking empties back to WSOR's main yard in Madison at E. Johnson street. The MAJ passed through here about 20 minutes ago, going in the opposite direction. To the left (east) of the building is the frozen Lake Monona, and the 30mph winds out of the NE are doing a good job of flying across the lake and blasting snow onto my face while I take this picture.

Title:  WSOR 3802, 3806 on M2
Description:  The M2 crew leads a handfull of cars just south of Olin avenue on WSOR's Central Soya spur. The boxcars are empties from Capital News, an outfit that prints both the Wisconsin State Journal and the Capital Times. Further back in the train are a couple of covered hoppers from Vita Plus. The switch in the foreground is for the former C&NW main that runs south from Madison through the communities of Fitchburg, Oregon and Brooklyn. Largely intact with a few grade-crossing exceptions, the line was rumored to re-open to serve a new business park.
