WC Shotz

Today I caught the SB that came down from Prentice....Had a nice lash up today with this train....2 WC SDL39's


And one of the MT&W's Switchers...Looks like this one was heading for some servicing


We then raced it down to the Wausau yard where it pulled in and did some switching in the yard setting out blocks of cars and picking up cars before it heads to Fond du Lac for the rest of its trip


Thats all she wrote.....Till next time :wave:


Air shot of the Gilbert Park area...You can see the golf course in the backround


Last thing an ant would see :hehe:

Just a few more shots of an MoW crew that went down the old CNW line....I tagged along with them and shot some pix.....


Heres what I shot:

Don't make me sick BIG Shelly on ya! :)

Edit: I posted the pic just to remind you that BIG Shelly is still around. Remember that she's the one that chased your cousin (and me) away from the ball park last year.

Man, you Wisconsin drivers are horrible! Even us flatlanders can stay on one side of the centerline or the other...the other if we've had a few road pops!

They were on the right side....The angle of the pic that it was taken on makes it look like there over the line :hehe:



Just a shot that I thought was pretty cool...Jct City from a birds eye view ;)

Back in the day most of the WC units were all BN units...Here we catch 2 of them now making a stop here in town....Was wondering why they were stopping here in town cause the only industry in town is a feedmill and this train was an all rail empty ore train....

Here we got a close up of one of the "Green Gators" as they once called these units


Slowing down to make a stop here in town


Now we know why they were coming to a stop here in town......

They did a quick Taco Bell run :hehe:


All for now.........Till next time :wave:

Nice ex-BN units. Green Gators eh? Well I guess there is a resemblance. lol

WC Engineers sure do love their Taco Bell!

Cool aerial shot. You should get over there and take pictures of the buildings, I would make them for ya. Ya gotta have at least the tavern which is basically right next to the jct, I dont remember the name but its off of Center Ave. Would be cool to have a "proto" jct city.

Looks like a lil activity going on down there....Wonder what was going on




Back on the ground we catch him coming thru the old West Yard....Looks like some vandals left there trademark

I know it was you asking for the burning house! Do you know how long I slaved over a hot computer trying to find your post? Do you know how much time I wasted, Mr. Man?

You just don't appreciate me anymore! (Sob):'(

Nice "balloon ride" aerial shots there J! That roadside park looks really cool. Nice to see a vast amount of space that your route encompasses.
