WC 7524 and 7506 are screaming in run 8 doing near 60mph as they thunder through the small town of Earlville, IA.

WC 7524 and 7506 waste no time getting up to track speed as they pass some typical midwest farms, complete with grazing cattle.

WC 7524 and 7506 thunder past WC 7502 with a grain train in the siding. I never thought I'd shoot two, let alone 3, WC's on different trains passing eachother in 2006. What an unexpected surpris... (more)

WC 7524 swings around the sharp curve past the historic depot in downtown Galena.

Two old SD45's that look run down ( are run down )

Two old SD45's out for a run

A S/B CN manifest freight with WC 7531 in the lead rolls through the first snow of the season as it heads for Schiller Park, IL

A visitor you just don't see anymore, two years later.

WC 3011 leads GTW 5936 on CN train 412, the Fond du Lac-Proviso manifest. 5936 is one of 3 SD40-2s in GTW paint, and with a WC painted GP, makes for a nice rare consist.

Ed Patten, after hiring on at the CB&Q in 66',going to the Rock Island till shutdown,the CNW,the WC, and the CN, now finds himself at his last time at the throttle.

One of the last few WC SD45s in service, OLS-painted 7638 leads M336 south. We tried to give chase but lost the train near Duplainville.

Snaking thru the connection... some of the railhead thru here is mushroomed so bad that the flanges actually ride on the jointer bars.

Schneider TOFC from Green Bay heads into Neenah. I don't think this service lasted long into the CN era.

Nice to see one of the few remaining WC SD45s is working around the Twin Ports.

A consist looking somewhat like that of years ago, rolls to their cars on the North runner.
