Plymouth, WI Wig-Wags Activated by WSOR MOW Equipment
Title:  Plymouth, WI Wig-Wags Activated by WSOR MOW Equipment
Description:  WSOR MoW equipment, a Harsco Model ECTR130J Tamper, crosses N. Milwaukee St., at the intersection with W. Main St. (and formerly E. Main St.), and Hwy. C, as it heads southeast via former MILW rails at Plymouth, WI on 15 Jul. '14. A pair of functioning wig-wag signals are on the right. I wish I could have composed a better shot, but I was approaching the intersection as the signals were activated.

ACFX 68975, et al.
Title:  ACFX 68975, et al.
Description:  A string of covered hoppers spotted on a spur along WSOR, former C&NW, rails southeast of Reed St., in Plymouth, WI on 15 Jul. '14. A tanker truck is parked alongside the spur either loading or unloading one of the cars. This spur, a remnant of the former C&NW mainline, was re-installed quite recently; it does not appear on current satellite maps. These new rails end at E. Clifford St., the next would-be grade crossing, but they will once again carry trains to Kohler, WI in the near future, if I’m not mistaken. I had to include the electrical box on the right because it still has CNW stenciled on it. The former MILW rails in use by WSOR are hidden on the right; you can see some of the old telephone poles that parallel the rails.

DMIR C-176 and LSI 19
Title:  DMIR C-176 and LSI 19
Description:  LSI 19 caboose, originally DMIR C-176, stored behind Ace Supply and Rental in Plymouth, WI on 15 Jul. '14. It was on display at Reeve Park, adjacent to the C&NW depot, in Waunakee, WI for many years. On 16 Sep. ’08 it was moved to Plymouth. At that time the plan was to restore it back to original DM&IR paint scheme and road number, it was hoped the project would be completed in 2 or 3 years. It doesn’t look like they have made any progress yet. More information and photographs can be found at: http://www.fuzzyworld3.com/3um/viewtopic.php?t=2518. An old ore car is partially visible to the left of the caboose.

Unique Grade Crossing at Plymouth, WI
Title:  Unique Grade Crossing at Plymouth, WI
Description:  An interesting and unusual light at the WSOR, former MILW, grade crossing at N. Milwaukee St. in Plymouth, WI on 15 Jul. '14. It appears to be some variant of an Eaglelux Traffic Beacon and Flasher, manufactured by the Eagle Signal Corporation. There used to be a stop sign attached to the mast. The large round light on the top is, or was, a red flasher. The fluted housing below that holds two incandescent light bulbs that would illuminate the stop sign. Some references speculate this may have been the original warning signal for this grade crossing. A more contemporary Griswold crossing signal is in front of and to the right of this light (out of frame). A pair of wig-wag signals can be seen in the background, still in service. Some remnants of the C&NW rails are visible on the other side of the still active rails. Some earlier photos of the light, and some interesting information about the signals at this grade crossing, can be found at: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Wisconsin/L-P/Plymouth/Main/.

WSOR 216, WSOR 203, WSOR 107, MP 642902
Title:  WSOR 216, WSOR 203, WSOR 107, MP 642902
Description:  A trio of WSOR MoW ballast cars (at least two of them are obviously former SOO cars) and a MP gondola spotted on former C&NW rails at Reed St. at Plymouth, WI on 17 Oct. '15. This spur, a remnant of the former C&NW mainline, was re-installed in the last couple of years. These new rails are part of the ongoing rehabilitation of the line to Kohler, WI. The active former MILW rails are partially visible on the right. The tall, white, masonry structure is an old creamery. I don't know who owned it originally, but previous owners include Plymouth Refrigerator Co., Kraft Foods, and Glacial Transit and Storage, not necessarily in that order.
