Rare catch on a doomed segment of the Ashland Sub |
| Description: |
Canadian National SD40-2 no. 5953, an ex–Kansas City Southern unit still in its predecessor’s blue and yellow paint, leads a northbound mixed freight toward Ashland on the former Soo Line Ashland Subdivision. The consist includes mostly empty pulpwood flats, along with a few boxcars and tank cars, typical of the light forest-products traffic still moving over the line at the time. Photographed on a hot Independence Day afternoon, this train represents one of the final recorded revenue movements north of Park Falls before service was suspended following severe washouts in the July 2016 floods. |

WSOR on the old MILW |
| Description: |
The WSOR Horicon-Oshkosh turn arrived in the morning. I finally tracked it down in the afternoon and found the crew was gone (lunch?). I had to climb through marsh grass to get the shot, but it was worth the trouble. The WSOR has always been tough for me to catch outside their yards. |

WSOR in the former Soo Line yard |
| Description: |
A leased unit, still in the beautiful WSOR livery, rests after a day's work on the FOXY Rwy in Bradley, Wis. This was quite the happy surprise for me, as I never expected to see those wonderful WSOR colors in that location. |
