UP 2997 |
Description: |
A nose-bell equipped SD40-2 leads two sisters and a loaded ballast train along the Lake Monona shore (and makes a disaster of a traffic jam in the process). Just out of view to the left are some tennis courts scattered with tennis players holding their ears. The sound of rumbling EMDs and squealing flanges may be music to my ears, but I could see how it could bother some... ;-) |

UP 2964 |
Description: |
Three UP SD40-2s lead a loaded ballast train across Monona Bay. The famous "pink lady" ballast came from the formerly CNW owned quarry at Rock Springs, WI. WSOR handles all switching operations on leased UP tracks in and out of Madison, but UP retains trackage rights to Rock Springs to access the ballast quarry. Madison sometimes sees newer, large GE and EMD power on the rock trains that dwarves the smaller SDs and GPs of the WSOR |

UP 2980 |
Description: |
A WSOR crew brings this UP ballast train around the bend and through Madison's Isthmus. The green space to the left of the tracks is the future site of Madison's proposed Central Park. The plans include relocating the railroad tracks, a task easier said than done when you conisder that the UP owns the tracks. |

UP 2999, 3300, 2954 |
Description: |
A trio of UP units, including the United Way locomotive, lead a southbound UP ballast train across Monona Bay. The 3300 is a very welcome guest in Madison as the power on the UP rock trains from Rock Springs, WI usually does not change much over the summer. I can only hope that the stars and stripes return! |

WSOR 2051 and GCFX 3059 on JM |
Description: |
The JM crew brings in their train with a lucky consist of 13 cars today. Its rush hour, and as the train parallels John Nolen drive (cutting off inbound vehicle traffic from reaching downtown destinations), morning traffic gets messy. Lucky for the motorists the train is only 13 cars long! |

Description: |
WSOR 2051 and GCFX 3059 are the power for today's JM train. The power is crossing the last of several bridges as the train comes off of the fill in Monona Bay. The line in the background to the right is WSOR's PDC line (which crosses the line this train is on in the middle of the Bay). The train will reach WSOR's E. Johnson street yard in a couple of miles where the Janesville-bound cars are waiting. |

WSOR 4001 & 4053 on MJ |
Description: |
The MJ crew cuts through a marshy area just after passing under the beltline on their way back home to Janesville, WI. The two SDs, as big as power comes on the WSOR, pull hard on 82 cars. The 4053's prior owner is obvious, but I wouldn't wait in earnest to see her in new red & silver paint anytime soon. The paint shop at WSOR's Horicon facilities is known for its quality work, and there's a backlog of contract work with other railroads to be done. The Horicon shop is full of foreign power waiting for a coat! |

This was quite an undertaking as the train was 80+ cars and the conductor had to throw several switches in the yard so they could shove through the yard and clear Sherman avenue to the north.

Green Goose! |
Description: |
4013 is one of the newest (to the WSOR, anyhow) additions to the roster. The red and silver official paint scheme always looks sharp, but I've felt all my life that BN's cascade green was the perfect dressing for an SD40-2. Hopefully this gal gets to tour the system a while before hitting the paint shop in Horicon! |

WSOR 4005 and gang on JM |
Description: |
The JM crew pulls a cut of WSOR sand hoppers out the north end of the E. Johnson street yard. The gondola to the right with the FRED hanging on the rear is the last car on the MJ train. The sand hoppers that the JM crew are pulling will end up on the MJ, along with some other cars that haven't yet entered the yard. |
