WSOR 701
Title:  WSOR 701
Description:  Based out of WSOR's North Milwaukee yard, I found this crew switching on the Plymouth Sub just north of the WSOR shops on Villard Avenue. The maze of tracks is very interesting. Just above the rear-left corner of the locomotive is the mainline, much higher up than these spurs. The train had to negotiate a switchback with 4 cars before spotting them. Certainly, the crew must be very skilled as they pulled this move off very quickly. Wet rails and slippery grounds didn't seem to impede them at all.

Description:  WSOR 701 and crew amble back towards Villard avenue in Milwaukee. Just to the left (out of picture) is the home of the 701, the building that once housed Northern Railcar. Northern Railcar was a subsidiary of WSOR until a couple of years ago, when the shop closed down.
