ELS Trip Today

WCL

Canadian National
Well today was yet another nice day to RR fan...So we grabbed our stuff and out the door we went....We first headed down to the ELS yard to see what was going on...But as soon as we got there the WC transfer was coming into the ELS yard with its train for the ELS that will be tacked onto its train for Crivitz




Coming into the yard in Green Bay we get set up right by the depot

The WC wastes no time on getting its train cut and parked in the yard


 
With the switching complete the WC grabs its cars from the ELS and drags its train back to the Green Bay yard




With the WC in the clear the ELS crew climbs aboard its train and starts making up its train for Crivitz

A cop sits near the crossing to see who will blow thru the crossing when its flashing

The ELS train blasts past the old depot at Stiles Jct

A porch shot of the lead unit

Arriving at Crivitz the Marinette train has arrived and the Green Bay train will swap the cars with the Marinette train before heading back to Green Bay


 
With the switching complete the ELS train heads east for Marinette


Out side of town in Marinette the ELS train makes its way into the gates of the Kimberly Clark Paper Mill

At the mill an ELS switch job is taking place as the 101 is switching out the mill by pulling out the empties and swaping them for loads

The WC transfer has arrived on the other side of the mill with its train for the mill...The WC and the ELS both switch out this mill

With the WC pulling into the clear the ELS and the WC will then cut its cars from its train and the 101 will do some switching in the yard

After a nice day of chasing this train from Green Bay to Crivitz and then the Crivitz to Marinette train....I think we did a good job today and yet we got to even see the good ol WC come into the picture....Next trip we will take will be the Crivitz to Pembine and then over to Escanaba on the WC and some CNW action at Hermansville
 
Sorry for the big words....I typed this up in word pad and didn't change the font size....Guess it comes out way bigger on here then it did on there...:confused:
