HLCX 6313 eases Friday's T004 around the wye and onto the Chicago line |
Description: |
Since most of the traffic out of Horicon is Chicago-bound anyways, instead of yarding the train they'll have it make a quick pick-up/set-out and send it on its way with the same T004 or T004R crew. This even though the Janesville-Chicago train is nominally supposed to be the T002. |

Title: |
HLCX 6313 approaches the Palm St. crossing (or is it Racine St. or Johnson St.?) |
Description: |
This little zig-zag street has three names in about 3/4 mile, as it changes to keep consistent with Janesville's east-west and north-south grid although it does not physically connect to any other segments of any of the three named streets. In my opinion the blue and maroon lease unit fits in nicely with the WSOR's red and gray. |

WAMX 4181 on the fuel ramp |
Description: |
This is one of two ex-BN units brought on to the railroad in 2011, still in Cascade Green as WSOR 4012. It wasn't until after the renumbering into the WAMX roster that the unit finally received red and gray, becoming one of four six axle units in Watco's new version of the scheme. The downward dip in the fat gray stripe is moved from the long hood to the short hood (it wraps straight around the end of the long hood, unlike on the older scheme represented by 4170), replacing the narrow red and gray chevron stripes there. |

Description: |
Actually only three cars back from the head-end power, with a long cut of grain empties behind. The first three cars are for local industries in Janesville, to be spotted on the return. The grain MTs are bound for the Landmark Co-op loop track just outside of Evansville. Chase of this train continues in the album "UP Harvard Subdivision - Evansville Spur." |

Chase continued from the "WSOR Madison Subdivision" album. I'm used to seeing the T004 make multiple set-outs at Milton and the Rotamer siding, but still have plenty of train left to take through Janesville and onto the J-line toward Chicago. Been awhile since I saw them terminate at the yard. |

(Censored) |
Description: |
My reaction to seeing that they put one of the stupid gray doors on 4223, the SD45 carbody. I'm not sure if even 4170 (the new 40th Anniversary unit) makes up for this, since I probably won't catch it leading until it looks as ragged as 4183 does now. |
