After lining the switch for the main, the WSOR crew on this CSX ballast train coaxes their 50 ballast car off of the back leg of the wye and back up speed (10mph- hold on to your hat!) |

| Description: |
The crew of this CSX rock train comes 'round the bend at Junction A on Madison's east side. Here the tracks of the Waterloo sub join those of the Cottage Grove sub for the remainder of the trip back to WSOR's E. Johnson street yard. There will be no trip to the yard for this run-through train. |

WSOR 4052, 4051 and CSX 6035 |
| Description: |
The WSOR's newest acquisition, recently painted SD40-2 number 4052, leads sister 4051 and a rare find in Madison- CSX motor number 6035. This movement is a CSX-bound ballast train that (until today) uses WSOR hoppers and WSOR power. The train is entering Madison's east side on the Waterloo Sub, just behind East Towne Mall. This used to be the MILW passenger line into Madison from Milwaukee, and will be part of the Chicago-Milwaukee-Twin Cities passenger rail initiative (if it ever happens). This would also be the approximate site of a spur/station for the city of Madison's proposed commuter line. For the time being, this stretch of 10mph track hosts thrice-weekly MABLT locals and CSX rock trains. This scene will look pretty different in ten years (hopefully)... |

| Description: |
Crossing the first of several bridges on their way across Lake Monona, the lead engine leans into the curve as this WSOR crew prepares to put Madison behind them. Sure enough- just as the 49th of 50 cars passed by, the sun came out... figures. |
