Thanks to Lasko, I had gotten word that a Dresser Turn was operating, so I headed into Wisconsin after shooting the St. Croix Valley. I followed the old Soo Duluth line, which I had not done since 1979 when the rails were still there - it's now the Gandy Dancer Trail. My timing was good, as the Dresser Turn was just getting ready to leave town. The crew is about to board with a fresh pizza as the train stops at the depot. Just four days earlier I had shot a Soo FP7 here, now it was CP's newest SD30C-ECO's!
I've passed this old house a bunch of times meaning to shoot it one day. With a scrim of snow on the ground and a new camera in hand, that day came.
2023 - it is gone now - razed and bulldozed.
On our summer road trip, we stopped to visit friends in Wisconsin. It turns out they live only a few minutes from Wisconsin Dells, or The Dells as its known colloquially. I never knew of such a place existed, but here it is. Despite the heat of summer, it was cool and dark in this mini canyon, so I balanced the camera on the wooden railing to get a longer exposure.
The Dells are sandstone gorge formed by glaciers. There are tributaries like this that run into the river. Below the boardwalk ran a cool creek that ended at the river. This walkway strategically ends up in a snack bar about a quarter mile up from the river. Nevertheless, the photo opportunities are endless.
In some sense, the area reminds me a little of Niagra Falls where there is a natural wonder that spawned a local tourism industry. There are indoor (for the winters), and outdoor water parks, wax museums, and lumberjack shows every hour. It bills itself as the water park capital of the world. Who knew? But for me, by far the best experience was taking a boat up the Wisconsin River to see the Dells.

Soo Line 1003 has just shuffled a few cars and will shortly stop for water before heading to Slinger, Wisconsin for a brief public display on November 2, 2019.. The 1003 was built in 1913 and is based at the Wisconsin Auto Museum in Hartford.
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.

Pewit’s Nest, Sauk County, Wisconsin. 17-10-2017.
I drove over 1.5 hours to reach this location before sunrise. Once the sun is up, its light hits the distant trees and the contrast becomes unmanageable.
This little gorge, created by retreating glaciers, has long suffered from graffiti and trash. Collecting beer bottles, coke cans and even a sock or two were routine activities on my visits. Several people have also injured themselves while climbing the walls or jumping into the water, all prohibited for a good reason. I believe access to the area in the photo is now restricted.

Back in 2008, a Wisconsin and Southern plow extra was cutting through the powder in Baraboo.
At the time, there were still several wig-wag equipped crossing devices on the line; of course, they have all since been removed.
Canadian Pacific train 484, led by CP 5022 (SD30C-ECO), NS 8991 and two former CP units headed for the last roundup, rolls thru the cornfields near Columbus, Wisconsin on August 21, 2016.
With the advent of portable elevators, corn cribs could be filled through the roof. The crib was emptied using flexible gates in the lower walls. In general, the use of corn cribs began to decline in the 1950s as farmers began harvesting with combines that picked and shelled corn. Shelled corn was then stored in granaries rather than cribs.
