A lone SOO GP40 leads a short empty ballast train towards the Mathy ballast pit, when it gets loaded, it will sit here at New Lisbon in the siding to wait for a West bound to pick it up and take it over towards La Crosse
Caught an empty grain train from Chicago heading towards La Crosse here at Raymore
We then caught him passing some Blue Angels that were doing some formations over the Fort McCoy Army Base and some tanks heading out to the range with a few hummers
Went over to Fort McCoy to catch some switching action going on over there.... Couldn't get to many pix due to security and such, so I just grabbed only a few....
Coming from the engine house getting ready to cross hwy 21
Heading to the storage track to pick up some empty flats and some empty boxcars
Grabbed the cars and time to head back to the CP mainline where the next train will pick em up
Also got a helicopter ride over the base and shot a pic
Two SOO LINE SD60's power up as they pull their coke train East through the pouring rain past the La Crosse, WI Amtrak station. This rain has caused slight flooding all over the area. The passengers that are inside are all waiting for their Amtrak ride, which is running over three hours late.
Daily CP train 198 heads thru West Salem on its way towards Chicago
Coming thru Wisconsin Dells, as 198 crosses over the strip of shops here in town.....The waterparks behind me sure are hopping today.....Wish I was there on a day like this
