WSOR 4076 Leads the JC With Freshly-Repainted 4053 8/27/2008

A big (well over 100 car) train comes back into Janesville after picking up the Chicago-bound cars from Milton, and runs straight through out the Fox Lake Sub.

About 3 minutes of the train have been edited out. Shooting location is the Academy Street crossing. Leading the train is SD40M-2 WSOR 4076, followed by 4006 and "Lucy Stone Gardner" unit 4009. Trailing the lashup is WSOR 4053, which has gone from the ugliest locomotive WSOR has to one of the best looking! Not only has it finally traded its faded and gray-splashed UP Yellow for WSOR red and gray, but it comes with a twist! The "Grow Wisconsin" map contains a complete route map of the WSOR system.

Not the very first, but close.

WSOR paint has really come a long way from the old geeps of the 90's. It seemed like they were patched longer than they were painted in WSOR livery.
