| Description: |
I'd thought the five-unit power move I'd seen coming into town from the north earlier was T004, so I was surprised to hear this train announce their approach to town. I can't imagine 4174 was their only power out of Horicon, but 4180 and 4170 were picked up from the fuel ramp here in Janesville. |

Like quite a few of its WSOR sisters, this SD40-2 unit built by EMD in December of 1973 as CRIP 4792 landed on several rr rosters before ending up as Wisconsin & Southern #4006. After the 2012 sale to the Watco Co, it was repainted and renumbered WAMX 4175. |

This unit ran as WSOR 4006 in the Gardner era, and was one of the initial group of six ex-Rock Island SD40-2s acquired by the railroad in the early 2000s. Still no luck for me in finding sister 4170 (formerly WSOR 4001) in its new 40th Anniversary scheme. |

The UP local beat me to Tiffany, so I headed back into Janesville to see what was doing on the WSOR. This yard job with the WAMX 4175 (ex-4006) pulled the two tank cars immediately behind the power off the cut and shoved them down to the UP interchange. |

T004 power runs light to collect two from DeLong |
| Description: |
Coming back from Rockford, I pulled off in Janesville to see what I could find. I was picking up a FRED beep on the scanner and checked out the UP yard first. No sign of any action there, so I headed north on Read Road and found this train already going over the crossing. I turned around and took Avalon Road to this location, expecting them to come flying through en route to Bardwell and points east. Instead they came to a stop and cut off the power to make a pickup here, which I have never known the road train to do. DeLong acquired this grain facility at Avalon from Gavilon in 2016. Their switcher, ex-BN SD40-2 7161, can be seen just to the right of the WSOR power. |

T6 rounds the bend at MX on a sunny Saturday. Pretty good luck finding this crew ready to roll on my way to the train show at the Alliant Energy Center that day! |
