WSOR 2051 & 2056
Title:  WSOR 2051 & 2056
Description:  WSOR 2051 and 2056 make a light run out the Cottage Grove sub. This train (I believe it was MEX- the Madison Extra) just met the MABLT (the "bullet") at Junction A. The MABLT's power was soon to follow the MEX down the Cottage Grove sub with some switching to do at Madison Cold Storage and Royster Clark.

A shortie, but a goodie
Title:  A shortie, but a goodie
Description:  The "Mighty Bullet", as the crew sometimes calls it, scoots past along Campus Drive. The second track here is known as the "Long John", and it occasionally stores coal loads for a short while. The white bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge over Campus drive; the green roof belongs to UW-Madison's Stock Pavilion.

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  WSOR leads a 3-car MABLT today. The train is crossing Blair, Wilson, and Williamson streets in yet another odd grade crossing. The large MG&E coal burning plant looms in the background, and the white(ish) building on the left is the former C&NW Blair St. Station. When long trains snake through here, traffic comes to a standstill in this part of the isthmus.

WSOR 2051 at engineering mall
Title:  WSOR 2051 at engineering mall
Description:  As the crew backs a long cut of coal loads towards the UW Heater plant, they pass some interesting metropolitan scenery. Engineering mall (to the right) with its fountains provides interesting scenery, but the crew's undivided attention is paid to the cluster of impatient students and motorists that simply won't wait for a train to pass.

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  As the 2051 shoves on a long cut of coal loads, it passes by the many UW-Madison Engineering buildings. On the other side of the train is a passenger platform that used to be used to unload football fans on Saturdays. The special trains that ran from Middleton to campus stopped years ago, but the platform lives on. Hopefully its prime location will make it a stop for future passenger rail projects

A tight squeeze
Title:  A tight squeeze
Description:  To reach the Middleton Co-op, the crew had to pass through a lumber yard. The bulkhead flat on the left was spotted at the lumber yard and had to be moved. If you look closely, there's an orange card on the body just above the right wheel in the rear wheelset. The brakes on this car are shot, and it will be placed at the RIP track in the yard.

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  This scene may look quaint, but the 2051's menacingly loud 5-chime horn shatters the mid-afternoon silence in downtown Middleton. The train is moving pretty quickly as well.

WSOR 2051 pulling hard
Title:  WSOR 2051 pulling hard
Description:  The 2051 does what the SD20s do best- she belches out a dark plume with a deep growl. The crew is working hard and fast to spot some loads into the mini-yard at the UW-Heater plant.

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  "The Bullet" (MABLT) curves around the track that will lead them to the Prairie Sub. Some switching moves at the UW Heater plant on the UW-Madison campus will busy the crew for the next hour or so.

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  After switching the mini-yard, the crew must come back west to clear the UW-Heater switch. Out of view to the right is Union South, and it's busy as a beehive today. About a minute after I took this photo, I had to stop the gentleman in the maroon beanie hat from trying to climb between coal cars as the train was temporarily stopped. Sure enough, the train started moving right after I barked at him.

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  Nineteen minutes after passing the first, the 2051 and MABLT crew stop at the second coal-fired plant on their trip today. The engineer waits as the conductor checks up with an employee at the plant. Twelve loads will be spotted in and around the plant today.

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  Here's another view of the 2051 as the conductor is inside the UW Heater plant. The three-track "Mini Yard" that can be seen in the backround is empty at the moment, but the MABLT crew will be spotting cuts of loaded coal hoppers there in a short while.

Off to the Long John!
Title:  Off to the Long John!
Description:  With the conductor aboard again, the crew takes a light ride west to the "Long John" siding along Campus drive. This may seem like a leisurely ride, but the countless pedestrians, motorists, bicyclists and construction workers that seem to pay little heed to the trains keep the crew on their toes.

Description:  The MABLT crew ushers 12 coal loads into the UW Heater plant as a bearded Computer Science student watches. The construction is at the future site of a tall apartment building being built at Dayton and Charter.

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  The MAJ (Madison-Janesville wayfreight) skirts along the southern shore of Lake Monona as it accelerates out of town. The hideous, but matching-colored building in the background is the Colliseum at the Alliant Energy Center (formerly the Dane Co. Colliseum). I've been trying to sandwich a train into a shot with the Colliseum in the background for some time now, and this is the best I could do. I wouldn't mind having this as the view from my back yard for obvious reasons...

WSOR 2051
Title:  WSOR 2051
Description:  The Madison Area Local - AM job (MALAM) has the 2051 today, and they're busy collecting empty CSX hoppers from the Freeport spur, behind the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Charter street heating plant. Though the fence is in the way, the newly completed bike path that parallels the tracks offers a great, safe, close, and legal way to watch the WSOR action around the UW heater.

Title:  WSOR 2051 and GCFX 3059 on JM
Description:  The JM crew brings in their train with a lucky consist of 13 cars today. Its rush hour, and as the train parallels John Nolen drive (cutting off inbound vehicle traffic from reaching downtown destinations), morning traffic gets messy. Lucky for the motorists the train is only 13 cars long!
