Cookin'
Title:  Cookin'
Description:  Hard to tell from the picture, but with the Madison sub rehab, these trains can really cook! The Saturday morning T006 blasts through town at a respectable clip. A couple of motorists stopped, looked, and went, but might have thought twice had they known how fast this train was really moving. The days of lazily chasing land barges down to Janesville are over!

Colorful lashup
Title:  Colorful lashup
Description:  There's no shortage of color in this lashup. The 40s belong to WSOR while the green loco, technically a GP10, is headed to WSOR's Horicon, WI shops for a paint job. The WSOR received this locomotive from the BNSF at Crawford. Contract paint work keeps the shops busy at Horicon and might be a reason why WSOR's newest additions to their roster (like Mean Mrs. Mustard here) don't wear the sharp red and silver WSOR scheme.

Autumn colors came early this year...
Title:  Autumn colors came early this year...
Description:  A colorful lashup leads this Janesville-bound freight as it departs Madison. A J2 crew is working the return portion of this train today. Ordinarily it would have left town for Jville earlier in the morning, but the timing and 70 or so cars in the consist suggest that there was a lot of on-line work for the JM crew.

WSOR 4008
Title:  WSOR 4008
Description:  4008 keeps air on what appears to be a Janesville-bound train. It's summertime at WSOR's East Johnson Street yard, and the weeds are staking their claim. One would think that the weed-spraying train, tucked away deep in the yard, will eventually make an appearance on WSOR's branch lines.
