Tom Burke Photo Reefers at McKenzie Lane Elkhorn WI Feb 2 2017 #2JPG
A string of hoppers was stored at the very end of the WSOR's Elkhorn branch on this sunny February day. I noticed that the refrigeration units were humming so I don't think they were going to be parked here long.
The Birds-Eye and Americold plants in Darien to the west are on the same WSOR line and could potentially use them but I don't know why WSOR shoved them so far east unless there was no other place to store them.
Another string of stored reefers was parked between I-43 and Highway 67 just east of here.
This track is part of the former Milwaukee Road Racine & Southwestern Line. It ends just past the hoppers to the east where it becomes the White River State Trail.
This section of track was retained partly as a tail for switching the InterMatic plant that can be seen along I-43 in Elkhorn but I have not seen a freight car spotted on their spur in many years.
