WAMX 3947 about to depart Johnson St. yard |
| Description: |
The train has stopped, and two crew members have walked out into the street to direct traffic. The train will also use its horn at the normally "quiet" crossing, as the signals and gates aren't functioning for some reason. |

WAMX 3947 |
| Description: |
Today Ethan and I begin Day 2 of our Wisconsin Trip. Today we are starting along the WSOR just like we had ended the night last night. The plan is to shoot operations in and out of Janesville in the morning then continue east to the CN in Waukesha. When we got trackside not much was happening, but we did get fortunate enough to grab this RC Job working the yard coming over Crosby Ave. |

L468 crew takes 3947 to grab their train while 4219 sleeps away a fine fall afternoon |
| Description: |
In the foreground, a track gang is giving the "main" line (technically part of the Reedsburg Sub) some TLC. Both of these locomotives are Watco-era additions to the red and gray fleet (all running under WAMX reporting marks, not WSOR, since toward the end of 2016). 3947 appeared in spring 2014 in ugly patched UP yellow, and was repainted in spring 2017. 4219 arrived sometime in 2016 in the generic Watco black with yellow accents, and was repainted sometime in late 2017 or early 2018. It is an ex-CP SD40 and the only unit on the railroad with the headlight mounted on the short hood. |

L468 leaves the yard, easing into the curve and crossing Johnson Street |
| Description: |
Train is on the easternmost of two tracks coming out of the former C&NW Monona Yard, used by WSOR in Madison since around 1996. It curves sharply from a southerly heading to northeasterly, and was once part of the C&NW line between Madison and Milwaukee, which now only goes as far as Cottage Grove. At a switch east of Waubesa Street, formerly a diamond crossing known as Junction A, the ex-Milwaukee Road line to Sun Prairie, Marshall, Waterloo and Watertown splits off. |

The yard at dusk |
| Description: |
The motor in the distance is 3947, which led L469 following T008 into the yard (they probably held for them at Broom Street). I was moments too late to catch them coming in the south end. |

A who's who of WSOR power |
| Description: |
From left, we have 4170, the class unit of what were the original six ex-CRIP SD40-2s acquired by the railroad in the early 2000s (then numbered 4001). It has been recently repainted into a special 40th Anniversary scheme. Then is 4219, ex-CP and the only red and gray unit with a low headlight. 6334 is one of the two Helm lease units (6313 is coupled behind it) than has been on the property since 2017. 4181, trailing the five-unit power move, is ex-BN and one of the last units acquired by the railroad in the Gardner era. 3947, facing off with the lead unit of the power move on the same track, is the first "new" unit brought on to the property under Watco ownership. |

WAMX 3947 and 4181 |
| Description: |
Hostlers and or/yard crews were shuffling around the numerous locomotives present in the Janesville roundhouse/coach yard area throughout the afternoon (previously HLCX 6313 was next to 3947). This is how the Watco-era repaints look with the correct, matching doors. Although, 3947's three-ish year old paint job has some visible chipping/peeling on the engineer's side. |
