WC/CSX ore loads come over the Fox River in Oshkosh, WI as the sun sets making their way southward toward Chicago.
Wisconsin Central train #20 just coming off the drawbridge at Oshkosh, WI with a GP30-35M-30 set. You could count on #19 and #20 having Geeps because at the time they could not use 6 axles on the GBW which was the only way WC got to Green Bay.
A 30 in the lead, 30 years ago this month. WC train #20 with 5 Geep's - a 30, 35, 30, 35M, & a 30. Trains T019 and T020 had to use lighter power due to a weight restriction on the Green Bay & Western, which they had to use to get to Green Bay. WC ran these trains up the Shawano Sub to Black Creek, then had trackage rights over the GBW into Green Bay.
On a gloomy November 87 day, Wisconsin Central still has not patched out all their units. Here WC owned GP30 718 leads train #19 with a trio of 60's generation power with the 3rd unit, a Green Bay and Western ALCO C424 being the newest of them all built Sept. 1965 while the Soo 30's are 1963.
You are looking at a scratch-built diorama using a plexiglas box to depict above and below sea level destruction during the WWII D-Day Invasion on Omaha Beach, June 6, 1944 in Normandy, France. The sand is from Omaha Beach, really!

WC train #7 goes over the curve greaser on the north side of the Oshkosh bridge getting ready for the next mile of tight 10MPH curves thru downtown.
Scanned slide June 1997, Slinger, WC days. Lets see, WC, CNW, standard cabs, steel coal train, diamond, Man give the railroads 14 years and watch it disappear! Northbound load enroute to Fond Du Lac.
Another technically-challenged shot but included due to the presence of the Electric M/U. Mod.WC 34021 Dartmoor (Nine Elms) passes (?) an electric unit in Clapham Cutting on 14/1/67. The blue/grey liveried coaches were becoming more common - one is in this rake.
CSXT Northbound Intermodal Train Q128 passing through 24th Street Interlocking in Birmingham, Al. with WC SD45 6597 leading the way
CSXT Southbound Molten Sulphur Train K841 passing through New Castle, Al. with WC SD45 7528 leading the way, the significance of this SD45 is that it is still in the older WC scheme & has the WC shield on the nose
A WC-EJE ore load detoured down the ex Milw now WC Valley Sub seen here at Necedah, WI March 1996 because of WC's Weyauwega derailment. Train is going south to New Lisbon, WI and will take the Soo/CP towards Milwaukee.
My favorite WC unit, SD45 #6677 on Byron Hill south of Fon du Lac, WI with train #2. July 28, 1989. Nice and sticky.
