Main Street Grade Crossing |
| Description: |
Looking across the Main Street grade crossing, past the feed mill/grain elev`tor towards Horicon. This is a former Milwaukee Road branch in the heart of rural Wisconsin. The Milwaukee turned gave up on it in 1980, but the WSOR has been able to make it work since then. |

Looking West at Randolph |
| Description: |
Looking west across the High Street grade crossing in Randolph, WI. Randolph has a fairly long siding, with a grain elevator located on it. The line is former Milwaukee Road territory and runs from Horicon to Cambria as a part of the WSOR. Just west of Randolph, the line passes under the former Chicago and Northwestern Adams line. The CNW bridge over the tracks can be seen at the rails horizon in this photo. The Adams line is now part of the Union Pacific. |

CRDX 12554 |
| Description: |
Covered hoppers and boxcars on the WSOR siding in Randolph. This line is the Milwaukee Road's "old line" to La Crosse, WI. The line went from Milwaukee to La Crosse via Horicon and Cambria to Portage and on to La Crosse. The line that became the favorable route went from Milwaukee through Watertown to Portage and on to La Crosse. For the Milwaukee it became a secondary line, and now with the WSOR, the line truncates at the Del Monte plant entrance in Cambria. |

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. |

Stored GACX two bay covered hoppers. |
| Description: |
Some empty GACX hoppers waiting for their turn to the WATCO terminal facility to be loaded in Oshkosh. The cars sit on a siding along some old building foundations that may have been part of any of numerous business activities historically located here. Fisk, once known as Fisk's Corners, had a station, post office, general store, blacksmith, implement store and a grain elevator. Livestock and farm produce were shipped from here on the Milwaukee Road.The old 1910 built bridge across Eight Mile Creek is visible just beyond the turnout. This bridge was replaced in July/August of 1016. Eight Mile Creek has also been known as Fisk's Creek, however, Eight Mile Creek seems to be the official name as it is the one used in modern maps. |

Rebuilding a Timber Trestle along the WSOR. |
| Description: |
WATCO (present owner of the WSOR) was able to use some state funding to improve bridges. The ELS was also a recipient of some of this funding. Here, a contractor rebuilds a timber trestle located between Elo and Fisk along a former Milwaukee Road branch to Oshkosh from Horicon. The trestle provides access through the right of way's fill between fields for a farm. |

A WSOR (WATCO) train fould the County Highway FF grade crossing in Fisk as it picks up some GACX cars from a siding. The loco's are on the 1910 built bridge across Eight Mile Creek, which has since been replaced over the summer of 2016. The neat Old Style sign at the local bar has also met it's demise over the latter half of the 2016 summer, due to vandalism. I have noticed these types of signs are starting to disappear as beer marketing practices have been changing. |

Picking up cars from storage at Fisk. The train is on its way to Oshkosh. The Tate and Lyle tanks will either be going to or are coming from the Smuckers facility in Ripon. My best guess is that they are empties picked up on the trains way through Ripon to Oshkosh, since when heading to Oshkosh, it is a trailing point switch. |

In 2016, the WSOR used some state funds to help offset the costs of some bridge repair along its lines. The old concrete span across the mill pond in Ripon gets some much needed attention, as a train rolls across. Look closely and signs of work can be seen. A back hoe operator can be seen down by the water. |

| Description: |
The WSOR working on the spur to the Seneca canning facility located on former Chicago and Northwestern right of way. Ripon was once home to an at grade crossing of the Chicago and Northwestern and the Milwaukee Road. The Milwaukee Road line is still in use as a branch from Horicon to Oshkosh with the WSOR. The Chicago and Northwestern line in use is only two short spurs from the junction. One is a storage track along Gothic Mill Pond. The other is to the canning plant, about a half mile to the east of the junction. |

Sand Loading Facility |
| Description: |
Between Utley and Markesan in the Town of Mackford, located at the County Trunk S grade crossing is this siding. In the recent past of when this photo was taken, it was a very busy sand load out facility, with sand tucked in and trans-loaded to the awaiting covered hoppers via conveyors. The place was a beehive of activity and had enough "No Trespassing" signs to make one think some sort of secret government project was going on. The siding is now in use holding boxcars in storage. These will most likely end up at the Del Monte plant in Markesan. |

Boxcars stored on the branch from Brandon to Markesan at a once busy sand trans-load out facility. An idle conveyor and conspicuity vest in the office window are lonely reminders of the once active past. Perhaps if there is an increase in need for frac sand, the load out will become active again on this former Milwaukee Road branch. |

Plymouth Station |
| Description: |
The former Milwaukee Road station in Plymouth is looking good under the WSOR (WATCO). The line has become more active under the WSOR, making Plymouth become an operating junction once again. The WSOR reactivated the former CNW line to Sheboygan Falls to serve a number of businesses that wanted rail service, including a Bemis facility in Sheboygan Falls. |

WAMX 3893 |
| Description: |
Working to Oshkosh out of Horicon, a WSOR train works the United Co-op facility in Pickett. The United Co-op has an agronomy center in Pickett that is a fairly busy rail customer. Note the newer paint scheme on the front of the unit. I think I prefer the smaller chevron stripes rather than the wide chevron. |

It is unknown if theses cars were unloaded or unloaded here, or just waiting to be spotted in the plant. This part of Seneca is where on will see a lot of their field equipment.
