WAMX 3947 |
| Description: |
Today Ethan and I begin Day 2 of our Wisconsin Trip. Today we are starting along the WSOR just like we had ended the night last night. The plan is to shoot operations in and out of Janesville in the morning then continue east to the CN in Waukesha. When we got trackside not much was happening, but we did get fortunate enough to grab this RC Job working the yard coming over Crosby Ave. |

| Description: |
The only guaranteed daylight train on the mainline to Chicago is the T4, so Ethan and I began driving east to find it. We got quite a ways before decided to stop in Whitewater to check the tracks. A group of local railfans were waiting at the stations with their cameras set up. They had been chasing the train for a while and said it should be coming by soon. About 10-15 minutes later, the train popped around the corner and raced west by the station with some nice fall colors beginning to pop out from the trees. |

| Description: |
It looked near impossible to try to follow T4 back toward Janesville so we decided to continue eastward. The boys at Whitwater told us to look in to the East Troy Electric Railroad, a small interurban electric railroad that is home to several vintage working interurban cars. Ethan and I decided to head on into East Troy. When we got to the Museum, sure enough, 3 engines and cars were coming back into East Troy after the 14 mile turn. |

Then came a total shock. Behind the other two engines were South Shore Interurban Cars... yes, South Shore Interurban Cars. Running. Neither of us had any idea that there were operating South Shore Cars in the United States. We had no plan to even come here at the beginning of the trip. It just became one of the best detours we couldve made. |

After some more exploring and looking at the interurban cars, Ethan and I decided to go get some lunch at Subway. As we were leaving both the green car and the repair car were taken into the car shop behind us, leaving the South Shore Cars as the only cars that (should) would be making the trip back to Muckwonago. |

| Description: |
After grabbing some lunch at Subway, we went down to the cemetery on the east side of town to await the 12 PM run east to Muckwonago. About a half hour later after the scheduled departure, the South Shore cars came around the bend with another set of passengers. Here the train passes the distant signal at "Trent Junction" which I would assume is now a place where interurban cars get off the mainline to allow other ones to pass. At one time though it was clear that this was used to serve local industries in East Troy. |

EJE 703 |
| Description: |
Since we basically shot the entire East Troy Railroad in length now we found it as a good time to break off and go to the CN, as it was now right around the corner. One of the big objectives on the CN was to catch EJE 703, which had been working on the Waukesha Local for quite some time now. EJE 703 is the only remaining EJE painted engine with the classic green "J Ball" on the nose. However, since it is a weekend, we were aware that the engines (if they were where they usually are parked) would not be moving and we would have to settle for stills. Sure enough, upon arriving at the Waukesha station, both the EJE 703 and CN 9530 were parked in the usual parking spot with a gondola. Time for some stills and some CN action! |

CN 8019 |
| Description: |
After the CP and Amtrak trains passed, most of the accident on the CN had let up, which allowed CN trains to begin moving again. A southbound intermodal had been parked at the diamond for a while, and finally received a light to continue on their way. A decent EMD lashup instead of the normal GEs were on this train. |

CN 3037 |
| Description: |
We decided to continue north to the Fond Du Lac area to continue a little bit of night railfanning, making a stop at the famous "Byron Hill" where CN trains tackle a huge grade between Byron, WI and Fond Du Lac, WI. We made a stop on the overpass just north of Byron and caught the northbound manifest we saw in Waukesha earlier. Only this time, my settings were not set correctly. |

We then moved in to Fond Du Lac to grab ourselves some supper at Culvers (a perfect choice being in Wisconsin if I say so myself) and went back trackside to catch a couple more trains. First off was a northbound manifest led by CN 2888. |

CN 3859 |
| Description: |
Another GEVO brings up the rear of the oil train. After that passed Ethan and I decided to head to our next layover in Rubicon and get ready for the next days adventure. Tomorrow would be the day that the WSOR crew in Janesville told us to be in Hartford. We still didnt have a complete idea of what was going to happen, but some of Ethans local friends were going to meet up with us and we were going to be chasing whatever the train was out of Hartford. The excitement builds! |
