Sunday Afternoon in Wausaukee
Escanaba and Lake Superior 501 cuts through the farm field in the countryside just south of Wausakee, Wisconsin on an early fall Sunday afternoon. While much of the territory which the E&LS passes through is firmly in the "northwoods" with trees as far as the eye can see, from this area to the south towards Green Bay farms also dot the landscape of the "dairy state." Hints of early fall in the hills add a little splash of color to this drone view along U.S. 41.
The former Milwaukee Road SD40-2 (originally #22) still works home rails on much of the E&LS, and is leading here on the former Milwaukee Road main from Green Bay to Channing and eventually Ontonagon or Republic. The 501 has empty and loaded log cars as well as some storage cars in tow. The crew came out of Channing in the morning and after some work at the Pembine wood yard are now making the run to Crivitz where they will tie down for the day.
