Wisconsin Central was a friendly railroad to be around with a camera. I frequently wandered around the engine facility, as well as locomotive and car shop at North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin—or “Shops” as it was commonly called. Sometimes it was on an officially sanctioned tour, but many times it wasn’t, and I don’t ever recall being asked to leave. It probably didn’t hurt that I occasionally bought a WC sweatshirt out of the merchandise closet from one of the managers. The one thing I do remember is how dark and sooty it was inside most of the steam-era buildings, especially when using Kodachrome 64 and 200 to photograph interiors. I did what I could with the tools of the day.
On October 8, 1994, WC EMD GP30 No. 815, acquired from the merger with Fox River Valley railroad, is about to head into the roundhouse on the wheel track, equipped with a drop pit and wheel lathe. One track over, WC SW9 No. 1231 slumbers the day away.
It's tough to beat a Wisconsin summer afternoon. On this fine late August day, Wisconsin & Southern's Janeseville bound freight is closing in on Whitewater on their Waukesha Sub, with a fine mixed bag of classic EMD's.

We had a beautiful snowstorm today. I got up early and drove around looking for photo opps. Snow was sticking to everything!
Trying to shoot outside the truck was difficult. Snow quickly coated the front of the lens. I made this image through the windshield. I was happy someone was walking their dogs down the road to add interest.
I have an image of this barn with its barnboards on posted on Flickr. I made it a number of years ago with my iPhone(www.flickr.com/photos/j_henry_g/6695162479/in/dateposted-...). This will be the fate of most of our old barns around here.

here in wisconsin, spring comes late (read: may). it's an in-between time, where hope is in the air, yet nothing grows from the ground. so i continue to take photographs of what my husband calls "dead brown things." because there's beauty in the dormancy, especially at sunset.

Taken a few weeks ago, still not much going on here with anything picturesque...just lots of very cold weather!
Wisconsin has the A&W bear where you can order outside and sit down to a rootbeer float and cheese burger. Rootbeer has become many of people's favorites over the years and it was fun to come to Wisconsin and to see the A&W car hop and bear.

Autumn foliage captured down a gravel road in rural Wisconsin... While returning to Iowa from Upper Michigan I took a few short detours looking for scenes such as this one. Comments and views are appreciated and happy weekend!
