Let me tell y'all a Wisconsin Central ride along story.
It was a cool July morning at Fond Du Lac, I headed over to the Wisconsin Central's facilities at Fond Du Lac and went into the area. After an hour of talking to a WC official, I managed to secure a free ride on the WC. We had a freight train idling in the yard, due out at 7:21 a.m. We had two SD45 type diesels and a SOO Line SD40-2 type diesel. We had sixty five freight cars in tow behind our power. It was only 6:15 a.m., so I went to the diner and met the crew of the train at a diner. We began to chat and I informed them I had permission to ride a WC train, they said, they were taking the 7:21 train to Green Bay and they said, I could tag along. After a long breakfast we headed over to the SD45 and started our journey to Green Bay from Fond Du Lac and in no time at all, we were on our way. We had clear signals along the entire trip. As we raced along we passed some beautiful scenery along the tracks and we even passed a local freight hauled by GP38s on a siding waiting for us to pass. We had tank cars, hoppers, covered hoppers, coil cars, a couple of autoracks and a string of boxcars. Upon departure of Fond Du Lac, the sun was shining and we made excellent time and we got to Green Bay by early afternoon. We kept bouncing from 55 miles an hour to 40 miles an hour, but all and all it was a fun ride.
Well...that's the story. Rate and comment.
Uh...am I missing something? I thought this was a Wisconsin Central thread, not a BNSF Railway thread.
