Description: |
This is the second-to-last crossing on the line headed east before it joins the Watertown Sub main. I set up at the last crossing, too, but a car pulling right up to the stop line to wait for the train messed up my shot. The chase of this train continues in the album "Canadian Pacific ex-MILW Mainline 2017-2019." |

WAMX 3947 In Your Face |
Description: |
Normally this perspective is frowned upon, but the train is parked with no crew and the engines shut down. 3947 was the first addition that Watco made to the locomotive fleet on the WSOR system back in spring of 2014. It was soon joined by 3928 (As built, those two were sequentially numbered on the D&H and again on the UP), which received a WSOR 35th Anniversary scheme in the early summer of 2015 (the last with the thin chevron stripes on the short hood). 3947 remained in hideous patched UP yellow until the spring of 2017. |

Blastoff! |
Description: |
The L468 crew starts the pull west toward Madison (normally the train that works this branch is the L464). This train was held due to the emergency response to a catastrophic gas main explosion in downtown Sun Prairie the previous evening. |

The trailing unit is one of two Helm (HLCX) units currently active on the WSOR system. It was built as a Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México SD40, since upgraded to SD40-2 standards. It is also one of very few (may be the last) units left in the maroon and blue paint scheme. |

9WWA power sandwiched between cuts of Herzog empties |
Description: |
They split the train, pulled the first half in, ran the power around, then pulled it back out, shoved it out of the way on the main west (photo left) of the switch, then pulled the other half in. This must be so they can get one section of the train on each of the two loading tracks, and already have the power run around to the east end for the trip back (since there are no additional tracks in the Pit). |
