Wisconsin Central Hi-Rail Semi

After heading to the Weyenberg library on June 16th to return some books, I caught this ex-Wisconsin Central hi-rail semi hauling a crane in a gondola crossing Mequon Road, to the team track in Thiensville. To do some trackwork on the Saukville sub. A cool catch, if I do say so myself. I caught this at 4:39pm, something unusual for a Tuesday. This video was taken in Mequon, Wisconsin.

[VilquinProductions]

Its very odd for a semi to be a hi-rail truck.

That's a cool semi truck. I once saw what looked like a Freightliner hauling a few rail cars when I was driving between Stevens Point and Marshfield on U.S. 10. I remember it had flashing headlights like a police car does. It was different and something you don't see everyday.

what a catch

[streetcarbrad]

Getting bigger and more specialized all the time, trucks like that run the brakes on railcars too. Very good catch. Thanks for sharing!
