Title:  A look at WAMX 4177 as L463 waits for L469 to clear their path into the yard
Description:  This was formerly WSOR 4008. This is also my first catch of one of the WSOR SD40-2s in motion since the roster was fully WAMX-ized toward the end of last year. Thankfully they retained the classic WSOR red and gray paint scheme, which has held up relatively well thanks to the quality work done at their Horicon shops.

Oil loads, Janesville to Madison on the ex-C&NW?
Title:  Oil loads, Janesville to Madison on the ex-C&NW?
Description:  Not exactly (a four-day late April fool!)...L469 is clearing out 126 tankers that were stored on the line near Brooklyn. Unlike further north (RR west) where train movements are somewhat more regular to serve the Lycon ready-mix plant, the active crossing protection at Perry Parkway was not restored when the line was re-opened. The one signal still standing was removed, and a pair of crossbucks with yield signs added.

Rare Mileage
Title:  Rare Mileage
Description:  L469 crosses a small bridge over a depression/drainage canal. Irregular storage moves like this are the only train traffic here; the local sometimes brings their cars south (RR east) of Netherwood Road while switching the Lycon plant but seldom if ever makes it this far.

About to duck under County M, westbound out of town
Title:  About to duck under County M, westbound out of town
Description:  Judging by the color of the rails in front of the train, there haven't been many (if any) runs to Lycon yet this year. The ready-mix plant is in the distance near top right; a segment of this ex-C&NW trackage was re-opened in fall 2014 after 18 years out of service so that WSOR could deliver aggregate loads for Lycon out of their yard in Madison. South (RR east) of the plant, cars are stored up to WSOR's end-of-track at Brooklyn. This L469 job is pulling 126 tanks.

Approaching Lacy Road
Title:  Approaching Lacy Road
Description:  After some additional ballasting and rehab work following the initial re-opening in late 2014, by 2016 I observed several of the aggregate trains doing 25 MPH on the old C&NW jointed rail. Not this time, however. Was hoping to catch the units working a little harder with the >120 MTs. At least it allowed for some additional shots.

Crossing Lacy Road
Title:  Crossing Lacy Road
Description:  When the line was out of service from 1996-2014, the ungated C&NW-era crossing signals still stood here, gradually falling apart. The signal that was once where the one in this picture stands was knocked over by a vehicle sometime prior to 2006, and never replaced until the line was rehabbed at which time the other signal was removed and both replaced with temporary crossbucks. These modern gated signals were installed a year or two later. The "EXEMPT" signage remains due to the crossing's proximity to the intersection with Syene Road, a 4-way stop.

Easing through the Olin switch
Title:  Easing through the Olin switch
Description:  The track going off to the right was once the C&NW Ridge Runner line, which ran out to Lancaster with several additional spurs extending throughout far southwest Wisconsin. By the mid-'80s all was abandoned except for a stub serving Central Soya in Fitchburg. When they closed that location c. 2004-05, the line was cut back still further. Now only two customers, Vita Plus and Capital Newspapers, are served in the Fish Hatchery Road vicinity. Nothing used the line the train is on from the last UP train to Janesville in October 1996, until the Lycon plant opened in Oregon in September 2014.
