WSOR, UP, CPKC & CN: Odds & Ends Around Milwaukee
Переглядів 45 годин тому
It goes without saying that railfanning is a hobby of hobby of timing and planning, but sometimes, good catches fall right into one's lap! Perhaps it was an encounter by chance, or the word that something worth catching was on its way reached you in the perfect time and place! Usually, these catches are far and few between, but this summer and into fall, I had the good fortune to have quite a f...
East Troy Electric Railfan Day: Sparks In The Rain
Переглядів 26914 днів тому
For it's time, the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company was one of the most profound urban transit systems in the United States! With its first streetcar operated on April 3rd 1890, so began a system and legacy that would soon stretch throughout the entirety of Southeastern Wisconsin, and by the 1920s the MER&LC was at it's peak, with lines stretching to Watertown, Sheboygan, Racine, Ke...

Переглядів 11814 днів тому
With the merger of the Burlington Northern and Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railroads in 1995, the newly formed "BNSF" had no corporate identity. To be specific, they had no paint scheme or company logo. While effort was being put towards deciding on an image for the newly combined companies, something did need to be done to put forward that both were now operating as one. The result was somethin...

UP 1983: Black Diamonds & Tiger Stripes

20 years ago (Already?!? It barely feels like it!!!), Union Pacific unveiled their new fleet of "Heritage Units", six EMD SD70ACes wearing paint schemes to commemorate the railroad's that have been folded into "Big Yellow" over the decades. Since then, the fleet has been expanded to include a couple more special locomotives, and they still remain a popular draw for railfans, with UP making sure...
A Farewell To The Roadrailers
Переглядів 51Місяць тому
This past weekend, Norfolk Southern signed "Fin" on the last Roadrailer Intermodal Service in the U.S., between Detroit and Kansas City. While I was not able to make the trek to catch the last runs of this unique operation, it did call me back to the joint Roadrailer runs that used to pass through Milwaukee! Up until the end of 2015, NS and Union Pacific partnered to bring the infamous Triple C...

With Canadian National having finally worked out the kinks in their modified GEVOs they had planned to send to the Iron Range, the first few of the model were sent there to begin service starting in July. Even before the arrival of their sisters, the first few "displacements" from the Northland have already made their way south; Illinois Central SD40-2s 6254 and 6256. Originally a trio with a D...
WSOR & CN: A "North Dupy" Sunset
Переглядів 74Місяць тому
On a beautiful summer evening as the sun reaches the low point of it's sky, the steel rails of Canadian National's Waukesha Subdivision play host to two northbounds, hustling across Wyer Road at North Duplainville WI and on into Sussex. First up, Wisconsin & Southern's nightly "T-003", the cross-division haul from Janesville to Horicon. In spite of a rather short train, a "three-pack" of the ex...
The Union Pacific Weed Sprayer
Переглядів 1252 місяці тому
Maintenance and Inspections are a crucial part of keeping railroads in top operating condition. While the basic principals and necessities to this are the same across all railroads, each one seems to differ about how they go about it. One of these tasks is weed spraying; coating the Right Of Way (R.O.W) with weed killer and other pesticides to prevent the spread of vegetation onto the rails. Th...

CN, BNSF & UP: Free Ranging In The Northland
Переглядів 3413 місяці тому
Even on a planned trip or expedition, it is seemingly inevitable that a few kinks are going to be thrown in along the line. In the case of a railfan, these can be both a blessing and a curse. A little something extra and great to shoot, but a distraction from the primary goal. For myself and those who ventured on our "Empress Expedition" to follow CP 2816 across the Upper Midwest, these are tho...

    I just wanna know how steep that incline is (looks like it's from the steel mill to the mainline or switching tracks above). 4,500 HP is definitely enough to do the trick. Now there's another, 6,000 HP total. Love those SW-1500's in action. Perfectly MUed together. That's so cool that they can work independently cutting cars, and together as a team to increase the HP needed for each chore. And what railroader wouldn't want a trademark caboose!

    I know this was a while ago but now that this locomotive is part of the Silvis fleet, The crew that ran this line with 6988 are going to need a new steam locomotive for excursion running because the diesels do look good but they don’t beat a steam locomotive.

    This line is so reminiscent of the Chicago Aurora and Elgin freight operations. They lasted until June 9 1959. The only major difference is that the Chicago Aurora and Elgin was primarily a third rail line. It did use trolley wire on most freight sidings and near the ends of their lines like at National Street in Elgin it switched to trolley operation and Rt. 25 Hankes Avenue on the Aurora Branch.
