WSOR 3810 |
| Description: |
Working from the east end of the small yard on the west side of Oshkosh. The WSOR has a small yard here to work the former Milwaukee Road line. Where this small yard is located, the WSOR had a transload facility for everythhing from intermodal, grain and wven coal. The WSOR had a circus style piggy-back ramp along with a piggy-packer, though they didn't generate much in the way of piggy-back business in Oshkosh. Presently, ADM now owns or at least leases the property that isn't the R.o.W. and works the grain traffic out of and into Oshkosh. The facility is also now a transload facility for Fox River Valley Ethanol. (formerly Utica Energy) Ethanol is loaded into tanks for rail shipment. The ATW flat is an empty spotted at Leeco, waiting to go back to Horicon and wherever else it may end up. |

WSOR 3813 |
| Description: |
Along the former Milwaukee Road line into Oshkosh, the WSOR rolls across a bridge that allows the local farmer to access the field on the other side of the fill without needing to travel the local roads. With the size of modern farming equipment, the bridge is really only good to clear recreation vehicles. |

Heading into Ripon from Oshkosh, a WSOR train passes some round bales of hay. The train is entering the Northeast Industrial Park of Ripon, which will soon have a new tenant. Alliance laundry Systems is adding on, yet again to it's presence in Ripon. A nice change of pace considering most of the closures in business lately. |

Beaver Dam Switching |
| Description: |
After leaving part of the train in the clear, west of N. Center Street, the Cmbria sub job switches the industrial park in Beaver Dam. The railbox car is on a spur leading to some businesses also. There are two spurs leading off the branch main at this park. There are quite a few customers here. The Milwaukee Road used to run into downtown Beaver Dam and do switching along a return loop of track. The traces of the right of way for the loop are still visible, though the rails have been torn up. This park is located closer to the main of the branch and is the new center of manufacturing, as the downtown district is being redeveloped from industry. |
