The JEX crew finally gets on their way out of town, leaving Wisconsin's impressive capitol building in the background. For railfans in Madison, it doesn't really get any better than this! |

This little train is sitting out at MX behind a parked UP rock train (which is waiting for a passenger special to get further down the line). On what might ordinarily be a dead day for railfanning, MX is a parking lot for trains! |

The train pauses alongside Vita Plus, one of two customers that is currently receiving cars on this line. Madison recycling used to get WSOR blue boxcars regularly, but it's been a while since I've seen crews spot a car there. |

WSOR 3802 on M1 |
| Description: |
The M1 crew pulls their train back out into the wind and snow after passing under the Monona Terrace convention center. This crew just got finished switching the UW-Madison Heater plant on Charter street, and now they're taking empties back to WSOR's main yard in Madison at E. Johnson street. The MAJ passed through here about 20 minutes ago, going in the opposite direction. To the left (east) of the building is the frozen Lake Monona, and the 30mph winds out of the NE are doing a good job of flying across the lake and blasting snow onto my face while I take this picture. |

Today's MAJ has SD40-2 4054 on the point for the trip back to Janesville. This unit is one of the WSOR's most recent acquisitions, and her coat of paint is less than a week old. Snow, 12 degree air and 30mph winds made this a rough shot to get. |

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! |

WSOR 2051 and GCFX 3059 are the power for today's JM train. The power is crossing the last of several bridges as the train comes off of the fill in Monona Bay. The line in the background to the right is WSOR's PDC line (which crosses the line this train is on in the middle of the Bay). The train will reach WSOR's E. Johnson street yard in a couple of miles where the Janesville-bound cars are waiting. |

WSOR 10C on a Business Extra |
| Description: |
WSOR's business train pauses on the fill through Monona Bay, just past the diamond at MX crossing. This line is a former MILW passenger and freight line from Janesville/Milwaukee. The line it crosses in the background is a former CNW freight and passenger main, once part of CNW's Chicago-Twin Cities route. Both lines are now operated by the WSOR. |

With the conductor on board again, the engineer of this WSOR train eases 24 covered hoppers into motion. The train is snaking through Junction A on Madison's east side. I'm standing on a bike path and, though you can't see them in the picture, several walkers, bladers and bikers have paused to watch the train go by. |

WSOR 2053 at Jct. A |
| Description: |
It's Sunday afternoon, and a WSOR crew takes 24 WSOR covered hoppers out the Waterloo line. This location is known as Junction A, and it's where the Waterloo line branches off from the Cottage Grove sub. The Waterloo line, ex-MILW, was once the route of the Milwaukee-Madison Hiawathas. The Cottage Grove sub was CNW's Milwaukee-Madison line. The WSOR now operates both lines. |

The M1 crew gets reluctant permission from the yardmaster to pull their 15 empty INRD hoppers into the E. Johnson street yard. The yard is full of cars, the JM and M2 crews are both switching, and there's basically no place for the M1 to go... nahhh, there's always room! |

Morning Dew |
| Description: |
The JM crew is less than a mile from E. Johnson street and the WSOR's yard there. The sun had a brief stretch and yawn before pulling the cloudy covers back over its face this morning, evidenced by the barely visible capitol building in the background. The capitol looked amber in color less than 10 seconds before I took this shot, precisely why I came to this location. No biggie though... the 82-car train was a good enough show on its own. |

WSOR 3806 |
| Description: |
Heat lines distort this view of 3806 backing down Madison Gas & Electric's spur in the isthmus. It's a hot one- high 80s and stuffy. The coal being spotted will eventually supply the demand for air conditioning on days like these. The crew has to rely on more conventional methods, like leaving the cab door open. |

WSOR 3808 |
| Description: |
The M2 job approaches Second street, just shy of the switch for the connecting track to the E. Johnson street yard. The switch is lined normal right now, which would take them to the yard, but the M2 is taking the "back leg" today. Yarding their 50-some car train would be a pain if they came in the 'normal' way. |

Colorful lashup |
| Description: |
There's no shortage of color in this lashup. The 40s belong to WSOR while the green loco, technically a GP10, is headed to WSOR's Horicon, WI shops for a paint job. The WSOR received this locomotive from the BNSF at Crawford. Contract paint work keeps the shops busy at Horicon and might be a reason why WSOR's newest additions to their roster (like Mean Mrs. Mustard here) don't wear the sharp red and silver WSOR scheme. |

Autumn colors came early this year... |
| Description: |
A colorful lashup leads this Janesville-bound freight as it departs Madison. A J2 crew is working the return portion of this train today. Ordinarily it would have left town for Jville earlier in the morning, but the timing and 70 or so cars in the consist suggest that there was a lot of on-line work for the JM crew. |
