2nd 22 Encounter
On a 3-day, 600+ mile round trip railfan adventure north into "Gods Country", our escapade starts out on a high note as we come across ELS 501 parked in a position seemingly just for us. Stopped and idle leading a southbound freight at Nejedlo Road and US141 south of Wausaukee, WI along with leader 503, the opportunity to spend copious amounts of pixels on ex-MILW 22 started in earnest.
My last encounter with 22 was 36 years ago in the exact opposite season. Ironically, in 1986 I photographed it on the shortest day of the year, and this time I shot it just 2 days shy of the summer solstice:
