Wisconsin and Southern Cambria Branch 1/19/2009

After shooting the CP action around Portage seen in the previous video, Dad headed over to Cambria, now the end point of a WSOR branch line that used to connect Horicon with Portage.

GP7 701 was at the end of the line switching the Didion plant. A few miles east in Randolph, the westbound Cambria train is seen highballing through behind GP38s 3801 and 3807, kicking up the plowed snow at the Highway 73 crossing. The signals take their time shutting off.

thanks for posting this, Looks like randolph, I've traced the line all the way from the end at cambria to portage the grade is all still intact, i used flashearth for it in color. I think if they ever wanted to but how I dont know, they could reach portage again if they ever had enough grant from the state and wisdisdot.
