Wisconsin Central GP40 #3009 leads the southbound Agawa Canyon tour train out of the canyon. We are 114 miles north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont here. In another hour or so, our private car will be picked up by the southbound local.
The quality of this photo isn't too good (taken with my old Sony CD1000 Mavica) but still, these types of pictures fuel my memory on what railroading and the WC was like in Wisconsin's northwoods.

Lucky enough to get to a warm environment and experiment with Arista Ultra and rodinal extra agitation at low temperature. Was impressed with the latitude particularly in low light where I probably pushed one stop in some of the images. The difference between slight changes in temperature and agitation seem to create just a bit more contrast than would be expected for a push. Thanks again for all the inspiration from my fellow flickeranians - you really are an inspirational group!
Wisconsin Central caboose #17 downtown Oshkosh, WI. From what I could gather, this ex Milwaukee caboose was not part of the sale, so WC ended up returning this to the Soo Line.
Still wearing it's Wisconsin Central paint, WC 3018 is paired with SD38-2 EJE 666 at CN's Glenn Yard in Chicago as the pair is prepped for the day's work. A new nose logo was recently added to 3018 by some fans of the Wisconsin Central.

Back in early 1995 when the winter Minorca trains were running with the C&NW ore cars, WC 6560 was the leader in the 3 unit consist. Easy to spot the BN heritage of this unit with the Squared off winterization hatch. I was wondering if I had a detailed enough shot showing the safety sign in the stairwell, it reads: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AND THE OBLIGATION TO WORK SAFELY

For 30 Thursday this is the last Soo and then WC GP30 on the roster leads local #23 coming into the north side of Oshkosh, WI.
WC power at Neenah, WI. The yardmaster would say, "Take your pick" I'd say, can we take 2? It was always fine on the weekend. Those AC GP38-2's were awesome. The 30 in the back is the 700.
WC train #2 detouring over the FRVR going by CF Siding in Oshkosh. The FRVR inherited DTC (Direct Traffic Control) from the CNW, so here the train in leaving the CF Block and entering the Black Wolf Block.
Just after exiting Waldwick Yard, Relay-1 continues east passed WC Tower with broken down train #1107 returning back to Hoboken after lead unit #4212 broke down enroute to Suffern. GP40PH-2 #4105, a former CNJ GP40P does the honors.
