CP 2nd 283 emerges from the west portal at Tunnel City, Wis. This is a shot from the berm of a new bridge being built for a sand mining operation, but when it is complete chances are it will be off limits.
I suppose she is somewhat attractive, in a trashy sort of way (sisters have to be supportive, even if they are rivals)

Following the train west I had a few shots in mind, such as the overhead off Highway 8 but when I got there I found it being rebuilt with a crew at work and a single lane traffic light. So much for that idea. Instead I jumped ahead to Cemetary Road and nearly had full sun here. Wisconsin may not have grown but the reach of Watco sure has. June 6, 2022.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but when you feel so good about yourself, it's hard to suppress a big smile

We tend to search for a better way of living through out our life. After a few search some gets satisfied, some gives up, some get stuck, some becomes so engrossed in the activity of searching and so on. All who gets satisfied will get bored or disatisfied and starts searching again.
These two ducks intentionally seperated from the rest of the folk, found a puddle of water where they search for weeds, roots and seeds. They have the freedom to fly to a distant warm land where food is abundant. But they stay in the winter wonder land for some reason.
The Wisconsin & Southern Railroad (WSOR) is a class II regional railroad operating in southern Wisconsin and northeastern Illinois. From 1987 to 1990, it operated a dinner train known as the Scenic Rail Dining (SRD) Train between Granville and Horicon, WI. The train was painted in a unique livery of yellow and blue and was pulled by an E9, number 10C. Like my standard WSOR E9A, this one is powered by two L-motors and geared 1:1.667. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Built in phases between 1911 and 1959, this Prairie and Organic Modern-style house and office were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright to serve as his family residence and studio, with two fires leading to substantial reconstruction of the house in 1914 and 1925. The house, which is named “Taliesin”, Welsh for “Shining Brow” or “Radiant Brow”, referring to the hill upon which it is situated, is a long and rambling structure with multiple sections built at different times, with the building serving as a living laboratory for Wright’s organic design philosophy, as well as growing with Wright’s family, wealth, and business. The house sits on a hill surrounded by fields, but is notably located below the top of the hill, which Wright saw as being such a significant feature of the landscape that it should remain untouched by the house’s presence. The house’s westernmost wings served as the home of livestock and farm equipment, as well as a garage, later becoming housing for the Taliesin Fellowship, where aspiring architects apprenticed with Frank Lloyd Wright. The central wing served as the Frank Lloyd Wright studio, where Wright and his apprentices and employees worked on projects for clients, as well as where Wright often met with clients. The eastern wing served as the Wright family’s residence, and was rebuilt twice, in 1914 and 1925, after being destroyed by fire, and is overall the newest section of the complex, though some portions of the west and central wings were added after the main phase of construction of the residence was complete.
The house is clad in stucco with a wooden shingle hipped and gabled roof, with stone cladding at the base and on piers that often flank window openings, large casement windows, clerestory windows, outdoor terraces and balconies, stone chimneys, and glass french doors, all of which connect the interior of the building to the surrounding landscape. The interior of the buildings feature vaulted ceilings in common areas, stone floors, stone and plaster walls, decorative woodwork, custom-built furniture, and multiple decorative objects collected by Wright during his life. The exterior of the house has a few areas distinctive from the rest of the structure, with a cantilevered balcony extending off the east facade drawing the eye towards the surrounding landscape from the living room of the residence, next to a large set of glass doors that enclose the living room and adjacent bedroom from a shallower cantilevered terrace, while to the west of the residence, and south of the central wing, is a landscaped garden, which rests just below the crest of the hill.
The building was the full-time home of Wright from 1911 until 1937, when Wright began to spend his winters at Taliesin West in Phoenix, Arizona, due to the effects of the Wisconsin winters on his health. For the rest of Wright’s life, the house was the summer home of Wright and the Taliesin Fellowship, and following his death, the house was deeded to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which operated and maintained the house as a museum and the home of multiple programs until 1990. Since 1990, the house has been under the stewardship of the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Inc., which operates the house in conjunction with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation. The building is a contributing structure in the Taliesin Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976. Taliesin was one of eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings listed as The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. Today, Taliesin is utilized as a museum, offering tours and interpretation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life and work.
those with sharper eyes than mine will have noticed that I posted two identical pics yesterday; I have rectified that oversight on my part
Bad enough thinking of being in the house during a typical Sconnie winter but damn...this is so much worse!
