A solo SD40-2 is plenty of power for switching today. The crew is currently building train A412, which is a Fond du Lac to Proviso manifest.
The daily Wisconsin & Southern train heads west out of Brandon heading for Badger Mining in Fairwater. Sliced in the middle of the GP38 and GP7 is WSOR's new MP15 still in primer!
The southbound is on its knees as it crests the long 1% climb up Byron Hill.
Both units are in notch 8 as they work up the steepest part of Byron Hill.
The A416 kicks up snow as it nears Dale on CN's Neenah Sub. This train has locomotives on both ends to eliminate the need for a runaround to make the run up towards Green Bay.
The HOK picks up speed after a setout. The clean red and gray locomotives really look good traveling through the frozen fields.
The Reindeer are resting for the big night so Santa simply borrowed SOO #1003 for his train. By the looks of the clouds you could expect some snow, no such luck.
The Santa Special steams out of Brandon with three cars in tow.
A westbound rumbles through town. Torrential rains swept the area closing both CP and BNSF mainlines for a few days.
Two WC workhorses rest in the morning sun wearing tattered maroon and gold.
Trains from both CSX and NS can be seen in a view of Queensgate Yard from Tower A.
A lone CN grey ghost grinds up Byron Hill in the hot afternoon sun as wildflowers sway in the breeze.
A empty Union Pacific coal train climbs out of Fond du Lac on a blistering July afternoon.
