Viewing Album:  The WSOR Northern Division
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:9/17/2007 - 9/17/2024
Album Info:This is where it all started for WSOR. Former Milwaukee Road trackage connects Glendale Yard at North Milwaukee to Horicon, where branches radiate west to Cambria (a former through line once connected to Portage), and north to Oshkosh/Markesan. The Plymouth Subdivision also goes north out of Glendale Yard, with ownership alternating between WSOR and Canadian National. A short stub of a former industrial branch through the heart of downtown Milwaukee is still operated from that yard, as well. A few classic and/or unique locomotives can usually be found sitting outside the shops in Horicon.
