WSOR 3806 |
| Description: |
WSOR 3806 ambles down the tracks towards MX crossing. If you look hard, you can still see a signal stand (inoperable) in the distance guarding the once-busy diamond that resides in the middle of Monona Bay. It's rare to see a wye movement here, and although I wasn't set up for a good shot, seeing the move was enough of a treat for me. |

Now facing forward, the 3806 leads the 2054 and about 30 cars around the bend and onto the Prairie Sub. A set out at the Kohl Center siding and the UW Heater plant are less than a mile ahead. |

WSOR 3806 |
| Description: |
Having safely set out a cut of loads on the Kohl center siding, the crew takes about a dozen more loads to be spotted in the UW-Heater plant (out of picture at right). Interestingly enough, this is the fourth grade crossing that the train has passed since leaving the yard 2-3 miles ago that passes diagonally through the middle of an intersection. Gotta love the city planning here... |

WSOR 3806 |
| Description: |
The engineer carefully throttles and hits the breaks as several switch moves are made over the Park street overpass. This must be a tricky place to set out cars- the overpass is at the top of a small, relatively steep (for a railroad) hill. |

WSOR 3806 |
| Description: |
The train heads to Middleton as the light of day disappears behind approaching storm clouds. Check out the gates at this crossing- They completely block traffic and will stop a car moving 35mph dead in its tracks. This is certainly an interesting way to keep cars from running the gates! |

With the switching duties complete, the MABLT crew backs the 2053 towards its train. They still need to place 20 loads on the "Soo pass", a staging siding behind the Kohl Center (home of UW-Bagers basketball and hockey). After that, they'll grab their dozen WB cars and head out the Prairie sub. |

WSOR 2053 |
| Description: |
The 2053 curves around the UW Heater plant tracks and is about to cross Dayton street. It was hard to hold the camera steady- the 2053 has a very loud horn, and the engineer was laying on it heavily for this crossbuck-only crossing. Out of the shot to my left and right are many UW-Madison students darting across the tracks in front of the train. They're familiar with the prospect of being slightly delayed by the switching moves here and would rather walk in front of a moving train and it's blaring horn than wait a minute or so. |

WSOR 701 |
| Description: |
Based out of WSOR's North Milwaukee yard, I found this crew switching on the Plymouth Sub just north of the WSOR shops on Villard Avenue. The maze of tracks is very interesting. Just above the rear-left corner of the locomotive is the mainline, much higher up than these spurs. The train had to negotiate a switchback with 4 cars before spotting them. Certainly, the crew must be very skilled as they pulled this move off very quickly. Wet rails and slippery grounds didn't seem to impede them at all. |

The train will soon arrive at Junction A, where WSOR's Waterloo sub connects to the Cottage Grove Sub. This train, the MABLT, has some cars to pick up off of the Waterloo Sub at the junction before returning to the yard. |

Having pulled a boxcar off of the Madison Central (Cold?) Storage spur, the 3-person crew makes a shove back to Royster Clark to do some switching before returning to the E. Johnson St. yard in Madison. This line used to belong to the Chicago and North Western Railway, and enters Madison from the east. It was the CNW's Milwaukee (Waukesha) to Madison mainline, but now all that remains on the Madison end is the short stub to Cottage Grove. |

| Description: |
The MABLT crew and the 2053 lead their train around the rear leg of the wye at Thornton avenue before backing into the E. Johnson street yard in Madison. Moves on the rear leg of the wye are infrequent and unpredictable (compared to other areas), but the operating wig wags on Thornton make the capture of this move really special. |

A shortie, but a goodie |
| Description: |
The "Mighty Bullet", as the crew sometimes calls it, scoots past along Campus Drive. The second track here is known as the "Long John", and it occasionally stores coal loads for a short while. The white bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge over Campus drive; the green roof belongs to UW-Madison's Stock Pavilion. |

The large MG&E coal burning plant looms in the background, and the white(ish) building on the left is the former C&NW Blair St. Station. When long trains snake through here, traffic comes to a standstill in this part of the isthmus. |

As the crew backs a long cut of coal loads towards the UW Heater plant, they pass some interesting metropolitan scenery. Engineering mall (to the right) with its fountains provides interesting scenery, but the crew's undivided attention is paid to the cluster of impatient students and motorists that simply won't wait for a train to pass. |

As the 2051 shoves on a long cut of coal loads, it passes by the many UW-Madison Engineering buildings. On the other side of the train is a passenger platform that used to be used to unload football fans on Saturdays. The special trains that ran from Middleton to campus stopped years ago, but the platform lives on. Hopefully its prime location will make it a stop for future passenger rail projects |

A tight squeeze |
| Description: |
To reach the Middleton Co-op, the crew had to pass through a lumber yard. The bulkhead flat on the left was spotted at the lumber yard and had to be moved. If you look closely, there's an orange card on the body just above the right wheel in the rear wheelset. The brakes on this car are shot, and it will be placed at the RIP track in the yard. |

"The Bullet" (MABLT) curves around the track that will lead them to the Prairie Sub. Some switching moves at the UW Heater plant on the UW-Madison campus will busy the crew for the next hour or so. |

WSOR 2051 |
| Description: |
After switching the mini-yard, the crew must come back west to clear the UW-Heater switch. Out of view to the right is Union South, and it's busy as a beehive today. About a minute after I took this photo, I had to stop the gentleman in the maroon beanie hat from trying to climb between coal cars as the train was temporarily stopped. Sure enough, the train started moving right after I barked at him. |

Nineteen minutes after passing the first, the 2051 and MABLT crew stop at the second coal-fired plant on their trip today. The engineer waits as the conductor checks up with an employee at the plant. Twelve loads will be spotted in and around the plant today. |

WSOR 2051 |
| Description: |
Here's another view of the 2051 as the conductor is inside the UW Heater plant. The three-track "Mini Yard" that can be seen in the backround is empty at the moment, but the MABLT crew will be spotting cuts of loaded coal hoppers there in a short while. |

Off to the Long John! |
| Description: |
With the conductor aboard again, the crew takes a light ride west to the "Long John" siding along Campus drive. This may seem like a leisurely ride, but the countless pedestrians, motorists, bicyclists and construction workers that seem to pay little heed to the trains keep the crew on their toes. |

An extremely late JMA winds through the S curve at the Blair street crossing a few blocks from the Capitol. The inbound JMA was at least 50 cars strong today, but this outbound has around 30. |

WSOR 3801 |
| Description: |
The WSOR's 3801 is the power for the MALAM (Madison Area Local- AM job) today. I first caught them in the isthmus switching the MG&E coal plant (hence the empty hoppers in the photo), but they also had some covered hoppers and newsprint boxcars that suggest that the crew might have come from the Central Soya spur. Anyway, the crew is entering the yard from the Cottage Grove Sub wye because a couple Hi-rails are working on a switch on the main in the E. Johnson st. yard. |
