WSOR 3806
Title:  WSOR 3806
Description:  The engineer carefully throttles and hits the breaks as several switch moves are made over the Park street overpass. This must be a tricky place to set out cars- the overpass is at the top of a small, relatively steep (for a railroad) hill.

WSOR 3806
Title:  WSOR 3806
Description:  The train heads to Middleton as the light of day disappears behind approaching storm clouds. Check out the gates at this crossing- They completely block traffic and will stop a car moving 35mph dead in its tracks. This is certainly an interesting way to keep cars from running the gates!

Cool morning at the yard
Title:  Cool morning at the yard
Description:  Two SD40-2s and an SD20 idle on the main with a Janesville train while the 3806 waits further back in the yard. WSOR's business train is at the right, and two of their bi-levels accompany a privately-owned car.

WSOR 3806 and 2052 on M1
Title:  WSOR 3806 and 2052 on M1
Description:  The M1 crew gets reluctant permission from the yardmaster to pull their 15 empty INRD hoppers into the E. Johnson street yard. The yard is full of cars, the JM and M2 crews are both switching, and there's basically no place for the M1 to go... nahhh, there's always room!

WSOR 3806
Title:  WSOR 3806
Description:  Heat lines distort this view of 3806 backing down Madison Gas & Electric's spur in the isthmus. It's a hot one- high 80s and stuffy. The coal being spotted will eventually supply the demand for air conditioning on days like these. The crew has to rely on more conventional methods, like leaving the cab door open.

Description:  The MAJ (Madison-Janesville wayfreight) skirts along the southern shore of Lake Monona as it accelerates out of town. The hideous, but matching-colored building in the background is the Colliseum at the Alliant Energy Center (formerly the Dane Co. Colliseum). I've been trying to sandwich a train into a shot with the Colliseum in the background for some time now, and this is the best I could do. I wouldn't mind having this as the view from my back yard for obvious reasons...

WSOR 3807
Title:  WSOR 3807
Description:  This little train is sitting out at MX behind a parked UP rock train (which is waiting for a passenger special to get further down the line). On what might ordinarily be a dead day for railfanning, MX is a parking lot for trains!
