Future Business?
The fog has burned off and the chill of the early September morning is starting to disappear in the warmth of the sun as the Wisconsin and Southern's Monroe Job (L355) trundles through the countryside just east of Orfordville, WI. Most of the cars visible in this photo are empties that will be set out a couple miles ahead at the Farm City Elevator in Orfordville. You have to wonder how much of the corn in this picture might just end up at that very elevator and end up being towed by a future L355 after this falls harvest...
The L355 runs at night during the week, but on Sundays the crew typically runs during the day. I've shot very few trains on the line and so I decided it was worth a trip over to see what I could find. A few times in recent months they've run east in the morning out of Monroe and I was hoping for that today, but they end up running a little later.today, and with only one unit. I managed to get a few different angles and I still consider it worth my time, but I'd love another chance with the train going the right way for the light...
