Wisconsin Central FP45 6652, still in ATSF Warbonnet colors comes across B12 with a southbound in July 1995.

I find myself drawn to the wide open spaces and the fields of southwestern Wisconsin. There are hills where you can see for miles.

Found in the Kettle Moraine State Forest, just about my favorite free snack!

These are all in Wisconsin.

In honor of its 25th Anniversary of being a publicly traded company, CN painted six locomotives in heritage paint schemes; the locomotives went into revenue service within the past week.

 

CN 3069, an ET44AC chosen to wear the colors of Wisconsin Central, leads intermodal Q117 through Mundelein, IL, on former WC trackage. Note the IPO 25 logo on the nose.

 

To my knowledge, this is the unit's second run as a leader, first in the Chicagoland area. Well done, CN!

Pepin County, Wisconsin

I really don't want to talk about how cold it is here today. If, however, you're too warm wherever you are and would like to take away some of our coldness, please do with our blessings. Enough!

Right on the edge of the residential area of Monroe, Wisconsin is this neat little hobby store. It carries mostly things for model railroading but has supplies for many aspects of other modeling interests.

The WC Heritage unit and a GECX demo takes B790 south on the CN Waukesha Subdivision just south of Waukesha. It was real fitting to see WC on the WC.

Wisconsin & Southern train L863 crosses the Wisconsin River at Merrimac, Wisconsin on Veterans Day, November 11, 2016.

Taken from near the southern end of the park's East Bluff. Facing southward.

 

A cliff-edge of lichen-encrusted Baraboo Quartzite and boughs of Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) frame the park's oak-hickory-maple forest in all of its polychromatic autumn glory.

 

This woodland community grows on the Johnstown Moraine, a broad and relatively subtle ridge of glacial till, lower than the bedrock South Bluff beyond it. The till was dumped at the margin of the Green Bay Lobe of the Wisconsin ice sheet late in the Pleistocene epoch. This morainal plug serves as a natural dam for the southern end of Devil's Lake, which previously was a river channel.

CPKC train 149, led by the Hapag-Lloyd/Saint John Express unit, charges thru Doylestown, Wisconsin on March 31, 2025.

The Wisconsin Central's only SD35, the 2500 is also out here in the mix. I remember seeing this locomotive by the shed at Gladstone back in the early 2000’s while I passed by going fishing with my old man. I don’t remember what the locomotive looked like so much as I just remember it being maroon and gold and having a 2500 on the side. Of course, being a little kid and having now concept of how things change, I never photographed it in operation.

Battleship USS Wisconsin is decommissioned at Norfolk Naval Base on September 31, 1991. This was the last of the WWII battleships in service.

Wisconsin & Southern crew Y401 hauls two beams for a construction project at Kohl Center on the UW-Madison campus on December 21, 2022. The beams were manufactured at Zalk Josephs Fabricators in Stoughton, Wisconsin and hauled by the WSOR from the manufacturer directly to the construction site. The largest beam, pictured closest to the locomotive, was reportedly 112-feet long and weighed 132,000 pounds.

SP 338 leads a southbound all-rail ore train across main street in Conrath, Wisconsin in early 1996 while on WC. These big beasts were a nice treat up north.

The photo was taken at Schmeekle Reserve, located just north of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, USA.

Here in Wisconsin, vintage wood framed barns of many designs are still common, but those constructed almost entirely of fieldstone are somewhat rare. – This beauty that has stood the test of time very well is located off a country road near the tiny town of Little Kohler. – October 2023 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

The shuttered Stellmacher feedmill on the mainstreet of Fairwater, looms large for now, as time passes it by.

Or is it just in käs?

 

How many different varieties of cheese are in this refrigerated case at the Alp & Dell store in Monroe, Wisconsin? I lose count. This was only one of the cases. There were more in the store.

Amtrak's eastbound Empire Builder glides across the frozen Wisconsin River at Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin on January 21, 2020.

A quick swing by Wisconsin and Southern's Horicon shop yielded a few shots of some WSOR EMDs sitting around on Veteran's Day 2024.

 

WAMX/WSOR SD40-2 4219 was built as Canadian Pacific 5518, the old GMD was sitting pretty in Cheeseland.

This was taken a number of years back when we still lived in Wisconsin. I was just getting started with photography and loved capturing barns and farms when I could. I believe this one was located not too far from Fox Lake, Wisconsin...and as usual, it was an overcast day! Hope you enjoy!

This is a typical scene from Southwestern Wisconsin's rolling hills. It has been raining a lot this spring so everything is really green.

WAMX 3928 leads Wisconsin & Southern train L469 over the Yahara River in Stoughton, Wisconsin on February 16, 2020.

Many of the RGBs were down on floating reeds and stems from last year's growth. I took the opportunity to photograph this one in an opening close to the edge. He gave me a trill.

I decided to take a little break before posting more photos of the southwest.

 

Yesterday, I spent a good part of the day inside my garage sorting out things for our move. After finishing up that project, I decided to venture out in the sun and blue skies in the direction of Black River Marsh. It was good to get out in nature, away from dust, dimness, and possessions. This trio of photos captured some of the feathered friends that I encountered.

 

This Canada goose was nesting and gave me a close watch as I went by along the boardwalk.

WAMX locomotives 4172 & 4173 lead Wisconsin & Southern train L863 on the Reedsburg Subdivision near Rock Springs, Wisconsin on January 3, 2018.

I regularly drive by this building and have shot it before (see below comment) and have been thinking for the last year or so it was time to shoot it again, but had lots of excuses - bad light, rainy, snowy ground, no time etc. This time I saw it was no more procrastination. I had all the excuses, but knew it was now or never. I present here my last shots of the once proud Rising Sun Grange Hall in Ladoga Wisconsin.
