CEFX 3182
Crossing the Chetek River, the southbound Wisconsin Northern train with one car is headed to the first Sand plant where they will tie down. Not much happening on the Railroad with the huge drop in sand shipments. There are 100s of sand cars stored on the property.
With the slower operations, I was lucky to get this train even in very high sun. The engineer was kind enough to throttle up when he saw me to create a little smoke, The green and white Wisconsin Northern engines are evidently assigned to switching jobs and weren't operating today.
