They'll hang a right (left from our perspective) at the spring switch just ahead onto home rails. Straight ahead of the train is UP trackage, which apparently hasn't been used since the last snowfall. |

Description: |
The locomotive set of the Horicon to Oshkosh turn runs east through a clearing at the end of Global parkway. The WSOR works the industrial park on the west side of Oshkosh along the former Milwaukee Road right of way. A snowstorm of wet and heavy snow is making the job a little more difficult. |

Just three engines in the Madison yard this pleasant fall afternoon |
Description: |
The 3947 has finally received its red and gray after several years roaming the WSOR system in shabby ex-UP yellow. Watco's take on the scheme does away with the thin chevron stripes, and moves the single fat gray chevron from the long hood to the short hood. 4174 was the WSOR 4005. |
