Viewing Album:  WSOR Madison Subdivision
 
By:Andre Wehrle
Dates:8/21/2006 - 5/24/2024
Album Info:This former Milwaukee Road line was one of several radiating out of the Capital City to be put up for abandonment by the bankrupt carrier in the 1980s, despite the fact that it connected south-central Wisconsin's two largest cities. Along with several of the others, it was rescued by the state DOT and the multi-county Wisconsin River Rail Transit Commission and operated by short line Wisconsin & Calumet until WICT's takeover by the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad, which today operates the line as the Madison Subdivision. It serves as the main line of the WSOR's Southern Division, ferrying traffic north from Janesville bound for points on the branch lines out of Madison, and bringing traffic back from the branches and the Canadian Pacific's line from Portage to Janesville and the outside world. There is also considerable on-line traffic generated in the communities of McFarland, Stoughton, Edgerton, and Milton Junction. Union Pacific ballast trains to and from the quarry at Rock Springs on the Reedsburg line operated in the summers until 2011. The line was upgraded to continuous welded rail in 2010-11 after two major derailments in 2007 contributed to its being slow-ordered to 10 MPH.

Title:  WSOR 4011 trailing 4051
Description:  This is the first time I have gotten still photographs of this engine. I now have photographs of every SD40-type locomotive that WSOR owns. 4011 was aquired in late 2007 in an auction from Union Pacific, at the same time as 4010, however, it was repainted to WSOR colors much sooner.

WSOR 3806 shoves a load for Zalk Joseph's across Cooper's Causeway
Title:  WSOR 3806 shoves a load for Zalk Joseph's across Cooper's Causeway
Description:  The JMA came to town just before dark, operated by the J3 crew. They had a load to drop off at Zalk Joseph's Steel. Since the switch is really set up for south(east)bounds, they had to run around the car downtown and shove it north into the spur.

Title:  You can tell where the reflective strips are on WSOR 4053
Description:  My camera flash catches the recently unveiled "Grow Wisconsin" Map Unit as it leads 3808 and 3806 out of the Zalk Joseph's spur. From here they will head downtown to couple up to their train, then 3806 will lead the way as they continue towards Madison. The JMA is typically a wee-hours train, so to see it in any light at all is remarkable.
