Back UP!!! |
| Description: |
This is an Operation Lifesaver demonstration train for local media and law enforcement to witness firsthand the kind of idiocy train crews have to deal with on a daily basis. They get a good example here as this truck quickly backs out from under the gate as it comes down on the cab. |

The WSOR remains an interesting place under Watco ownership. The classy red and gray is still king, albeit with new reporting marks and numbers. Then you have the oddities like 4219 and the HLCX units to add variety. |

Old and new WSOR schemes bracket a yellow bonnet |
| Description: |
In the "classic" (Gardner era) WSOR scheme, there are narrow red and gray chevron stripes on the short hood, and the thick gray stripe dips into a single fat chevron on the long hood. In the new version of the scheme applied by Watco starting in 2016, the thick gray chevron is moved to the short hood and the gray stripe wraps straight around the end of the long hood. |

WAMX 4219 poses on the main after arriving at the yard with L863 |
| Description: |
This is a unique unit on the WSOR, with its headlight mounted on the short hood instead of between the cab numberboards, hinting at its CP heritage (although the bell has been moved to the traditional underframe location). The frame stenciling denotes this unit as an SD40-2, although it was built as an SD40 and retains the shorter frame and Flexicoil trucks (rather like the ex-C&O former 407X serier, which are designated SD40M-2). It is also the only unit with a red goose logo on the short hood, placed in the middle of the thick gray chevron (presumably due to the headlight). The other units painted to WSOR colors by Watco have a white logo placed in the red area near the top of the hood. The locomotive was painted in this scheme sometimZ in the late fall of 2017, after spending over a year roaming WSOR territory in the Watco "Yellow Bonnet" scheme. There was also a four-axle unit on the system in that scheme, although I don't know the number as I never saw it. |

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. |

A Lucky Catch In The Fog |
| Description: |
A lucky catch on the "CN & FOXY Railroad Radio Stream -Appleton, WI" Youtube stream put on by "TJ H" lead me to this Wisconsin Southern Train. WAMX 3871 (GP38-2), WAMX 4170 (SD40-2), WAMX 4219 (SD40-2) and WAMX 3868 (GP38-2) rest on the main at "Oshkosh" per the railroad. However the train is actually just north of the Hwy 91 and Clairville Rd. intersection crossing in the Town of Algoma, WI. |

A nice comparison of the new and old paint schemes side by side as L353 passes the repainted triclops. A lot of fans that I knew were not big fans of the new paint scheme when it was finally revealed. I think it is pretty unique. |

WAMX 4219 |
| Description: |
T4 passes the siding switch signal as the train continues into the yard. By this time it was getting fairly late in the afternoon. With no signs of UP or CP showing up, we decided to follow the CP back to Rockford. We never did end up finding them, so we went and grabbed some lunch at Dairy Queen in Aboite and headed back into Illinois. We were pretty happy with our WSOR catches. Hope to come back here soon! |
