Dates:3/15/2007 - 12/31/2009
Album Info:My first three years of railfanning the Canadian Pacific's Tomah Subdivision and Watertown Subdivision, part of their Chicago to Twin Cities mainline across Wisconsin. This is one of the busier rail lines in Wisconsin and the only one with regular Amtrak service. Some days it seems like all you see is CP's red, widecab GEs, but patience and luck will yield a wide variety of classic and colorful diesel power.

Title:  UP 5609 on parked eastbound coal
Description:  The second of two trains we spotted this day idling in a siding with no crew was this eastbound train of WPSX coal cars and UP power. This was just east of Camp Douglas. The train was split in two to avoid blocking a small private crossing.

Description:  We weren't paying close enough attention to the voices on the scanner as we tried to get a comfortable lead on our westbound coal train...we were taken completely by surprise at the appearance of #8 alongside Highway 16 just east of the Dells. This mediocre grab shot out the car window was all she wrote for this baby as it flew by.
