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.

SOO 6056 & 6035 pause for a crew change at sunset
Title:  SOO 6056 & 6035 pause for a crew change at sunset
Description:  These two Soo Line SD60s led a westbound manifest slowly onto one of the sidings on the east side of Portage and stopped. From the talk on the scanner it sounded like they were waiting for a late-arriving relief engineer.
