Description:  The 3801 pulls a long string of UW-Heater bound coal loads, creating traffic problems as it crosses Blair St. The old CNW Blair St. station is just out of view to the left.

WSOR 3801
Title:  WSOR 3801
Description:  Peek-a-boo! The 3801 snakes around the sharp curve and across Dayton St., startling traffic that cannot easily see the train from the road. The use of train horns has been banned in Madison, but there would probably be several deadly accidents per year if the WSOR ceased using them at the UW Heater

UP 5108
Title:  UP 5108
Description:  UP 5108 is one of three big units on today's UP ballast train. The UP runs unit ballast trains up to Rock Springs, WI, over WSOR operated rails. The next biggest power that we see here with any frequency are the WSOR SD20s, so you can imagine how excited I was to see this biggun!

WSOR 3801
Title:  WSOR 3801
Description:  3801 slices west through campus at another one of Madison's weird grade crossings. Mills and Dayton streets cross at a stoplight and the WSOR's Prairie sub cuts across the middle of the intersection at a 45 degree angle.

WSOR 2055
Title:  WSOR 2055
Description:  The MABLT crew and the 2055 switch cars at the LaFarge cement plant, blocking Stoughton road in the process. The crossing at Stoughton road is the stupidest grade crossing in Madison, making it a contestant for the stupidest in Wisconsin. There used to be an over/underpass here, but some genius decided that routing six lanes of fast-moving, dense traffic under the most hideous crossing lights in the county would be a good idea

UP 2964
Title:  UP 2964
Description:  Three UP SD40-2s lead a loaded ballast train across Monona Bay. The famous "pink lady" ballast came from the formerly CNW owned quarry at Rock Springs, WI. WSOR handles all switching operations on leased UP tracks in and out of Madison, but UP retains trackage rights to Rock Springs to access the ballast quarry. Madison sometimes sees newer, large GE and EMD power on the rock trains that dwarves the smaller SDs and GPs of the WSOR
