Got called in to do the Wausau switch, train YO9118 was the train ID for this train....Our lead unit today was the good ol SD35Q number 2500


We departed the yard with 3 loads and 4 empties today


Coming across the WI River as this place is famous for the kayak races


Coming across 28th Ave right by Wausau Steel


Our first stop was to spot a loaded centerbeam at a lumber yard



We then coupled back to some cars and shoved 2 loaded hoppers of plastic pellets up to the spur


Coupled back to our train, the train runs LHF back to the yard


But first making a quick stop to spot the 4 empty gonds for Wausau Steel



We then went back to the yard to get more cars to take south towards Mosinee
 
We couple onto some more cars for the trip south out of the yard as we run LHF


Going over the top of Grand Ave, the main drag...At night this road is really hopping of street racers


Ducking under State HWY 29


Passing one of WC biggest customers, Lignotech


Passing the Weston 3 power plant as it slows to make a stop to spot some centerbeams


Backing down the spur to spot the loads


Back onto the train we pass the Mosinee depot


Pulling into the Mosinee Paper Mill, we pull in some coal cars (the coal is what keeps the plant running)


We then spot a BNSF reefer of beer at the cold storage here in Mosinee


Our last stop of the day we have to drop off some steel at the Merrill Iron and Steel mill
 
Back at the yard office we gather up all our stuff and head into the office for the day and fill out some papers and call it a day
 
Hey Adam....Don't forget all them lil wordings on the doors and such and the "You have the right and obligation to work safely" or whatever it says on the steps..... :Y:
 
While I was waiting for my truck to be loaded at the Bay Area Paper Mill I caught one of the locals. Theres no way to get on the other side of the fence where I was at so this is the best I could do. :p

I'm sure somewhere in this thread someone already asked this, but is this route on the DLS? I know there are screen shots from different routes but they all look pretty amazing.
