Also visible in this photo are the WSOR's yellow transfer car (ex-GTW) and one of WSOR's three (soon to be more?) refurbished ex-metra bi-levels.

Description:  Finished spotting the loads, today's WSOR M1 conductor applies some muscle to the Chevron-style switch stand at the UW Heater spur on WSOR's Prairie sub. These switch stands are a dead giveaway that this is former MILW country.
