L863 power heads to the tie-up track while another power set idles |
| Description: |
The L863 off the Reedsburg Sub snuck up on me, so only managed handheld video as it crossed Commercial Avenue. 4173 was the WSOR 4004. Behind 3928 is 4185 (formerly WSOR 4051), which has a bit of a smoking problem. |

WAMX 3947 whiles away another gorgeous afternoon on one of the tie-up tracks |
| Description: |
This unit, despite being based out of Madison much of the time, continues to elude me as a lead unit post-repaint. While it was romaing the rails in ugly patched UP yellow it was leading every other train I saw! |

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. |

| Description: |
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. |

A who's who of WSOR power |
| Description: |
From left, we have 4170, the class unit of what were the original six ex-CRIP SD40-2s acquired by the railroad in the early 2000s (then numbered 4001). It has been recently repainted into a special 40th Anniversary scheme. Then is 4219, ex-CP and the only red and gray unit with a low headlight. 6334 is one of the two Helm lease units (6313 is coupled behind it) than has been on the property since 2017. 4181, trailing the five-unit power move, is ex-BN and one of the last units acquired by the railroad in the Gardner era. 3947, facing off with the lead unit of the power move on the same track, is the first "new" unit brought on to the property under Watco ownership. |
