| Description: |
When the WSOR switches the circus style loading ramp at the end of rail in Oshkosh, they often set the loaded cars on the WoW warehouse spur to get them out of the way to place the empties. Here, a cut of loaded cars rests on the warehouse spur as the WSOR shoves the empties to the ramp. There are seven customers in this industrial park for the WSOR. |

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. |

| Description: |
A cut of covered hoppers rolls past the turnout into Bemis. The engines shoved the cars upgrade after switching the plant, and then went back into the spur to allow the cars to roll by, putting the engines on the correct end to head back into the small Oshkosh yard without performing a shove. In this view from the 20th Avenue grade crossing, the engines are out of frame to the left hidden by the trees. |

WAMX 3891 |
| Description: |
A WSOR train reaches Oshkosh and enters the small yard. In reality this "yard" is not much more than a run around and is adjacent to the United Co-Op elevator facility with its numerous tracks. There is also a spur which serves as the WATCO Port and Terminal facility in Oshkosh, trans-loading granular commodities into these two bay covered hoppers via conveyor. The terminal facility also is involved in transferring between truck and tank cars marked with "inedible tallow". The flat cars with plate steel on them will be going to one or both of the two steel processing centers located on the line. |
