They will not be released. Sorry! :wave:

Thats ok with me. May is ask why?

1: CNR has a no reskin policy.

2: The way they are mapped I can't weather them therefore they will look like junk. Shane has very nice models and I'm not going to put a crappy texture on it.

3: I don't want to.

There's just something about the fallen flags that's appealing isn't there? I guess the old addage "absence makes the heart grow fonder" applies to them.

I really like watching current vids and seeing the occasional old livery of fallen routes still being used. Be nice if UP, CN, BNSF painted more of their locos and rolling stock in the old livery.

Thanks for sharing and keeping them alive for us WCL and others!

Thanks for any help

You might want to spellcheck the first line of your post...

 

[strench707]

Oh whoops, I wasn't really looking, thanks for letting me know before a mod had to, lol.

Thanks again

Davis

 

[whistlehead]

I'd recommend you remove that, not to be bossy or anything.

Strench said "shits" :clap:

Out shopping around today I did not plan to catch a train.....While down in Rothschild I heard a distant horn of a WC train.....Looking at my watch I see it must be the Fond du Lac to Wausau train....I get down to the viaduct to wait for its arrival.....

On the point was 2 WC SD45's with todays revenue with a nice block of empty hoppers for the 3M plant in Wausau that will be loaded


Passing the giant Weyerhaeuser paper mill complex as it skirts along side Grand Ave


Getting ready to duck under HWY 29 that runs East to Green Bay and West towards Chippewa Falls


As it goes over Grand Ave...The train starts to notch down on the throttle to slow to come into the Wausau yard


Coming into Schofield it passes the Schofield industrial park switch


Right outside the Wausau yard the train crosses the Eau Claire river....During the summer lots of high school kids love to jump off this bridge


Looking like a snake.....The train weaves itself into the Wausau yard....The WC hoppers at the bottom of the pic are on the old CNW line that ran from Wausau to Green Bay and now its the Mountain Bay Rec Trail....This part of the tracks is still here to store cars for the 3M plant or any other cars that they dont have room for in the yard....Its mainly used for these 3M cars here

 

[WCL]

Slowing to make a stop in the Wausau yard to cut from its train....We see the WC 2500 waiting to go to work...It will soon be on its way once this train gets its cars cut


Once the train has got its cars cut we then raced the local to the far West end of town where the 2500 will do its switching for the day



On the way back home we stopped by my grandparents house....But natually when I get in....A train races on by....I get outside quick and when I got out there...The lead units had already zipped on by

Random Shots

An air shot of the Wausau yard


Another shot of the 3M storage track...The garden there is full of ginseng


An exempt crossing....This would have been the CNW tracks that went out towards Marshfield


What would Wausau be without its famous ski hill.....Rib Mountain


All for now :wave:
