A year ago today CN was making their last run to 3M in Wausau. The FOXY was set to take over the next day which appears to have been a good move. WATCO has increased service to the facility which now gets switched twice a day, just as they did with WC.
Despite the WC lash, CN had been in charge for two years when I took this. A461 was the afternoon freight for the northwoods, with a large cut of boxcars for the papermill in Tomahawk on the head end. Summer of 2003.
Wausau to Shops Yard train No.408 is just out of Stevens Point on a fine Wisconsin morning. Time to head for the Quik Trip and a hot cup of Joe.
FOXY's Wausau local heads back to the yard after switching out 3M on the west side of town. I've done this shot a handful of times over the years, the one thing that remains the same is the fire station, which was built in 1960.
Two GTW GP9R’s are seen working 3M in Wausau. The plant makes roofing granules that are shipped in covered hoppers.
Taken on a beautiful September morning in Memorial Park on the southeast side of Wausau, Wisconsin. I plan to go back once the fall colors have reached their peak.
Conductor Bill stands by as the engineer of the Wausau-Bradley train sorts our cars for Wausau proper.
Milwaukee Road GP38-2 362 works the Wausau, Wisconsin yard on August 13, 1981. Note that this unit has the more modern radiator grilles even though it was built with the earlier chicken-wire style. This is most likely the result of a wreck rebuild; I do remember that during 1979 there was at the shell of a wrecked GP38-2 in Milwaukee, and to my knowledge it was 362.

The November moon looks down on the Wisconsin River and the skyline of downtown Wausau, Wisconsin. Taken through the breakroom window at my workplace.

Before railroads began to standardize with mainly EMD power, two minority builders roamed Wausau for years - FMs on the C&NW and Alcos on the Milwaukee Road. Number 1063 was just one of many H10-44s that held down the switch job here over the years until an order of ex-Frisco GP7s in 1976 forced them into retirement. 8-18-1974. Sure looks like a Joe Stauber shot to me
May 1969, Milwaukee Road Train #202 prepares to depart Wausau, Wisconsin, for New Lisbon, where it will connect with both "Afternoon Hiawathas." Unofficially known as the "Wausau Hiawatha," the two-car train will layover for one hour, before returning to Wausau as train #203.
Held in conjunction with the Big Bull Falls BBQ RibFest, the Wausau Balloon Rally & Glow has become a must-see tradition for the Wausau, Wisconsin area and surrounding communities. This multi-day event held at the Wausau Municipal Airport features live music, food, children's rides, plane rides, kite-flying demonstrations, a spectacular fireworks show, and of course the beautiful hot air balloons.

On day one, FOXY's first train was WA301 which went to 3M. Here they're shoving a couple tanks to the facility. WATCO had several borrow outs from other WATCO properties, mostly to the south, who weren't big fans of the weather. One of the managers can be seen taking a photo with his phone for a company news letter.
I love this shot, it's probably one of my favorites! And it was taken with my little Samsung Point & Shoot! I had this printed out in 8x10 and it looks amazing like that too.
On the weekend of July 12th and 13th, the downtown 400 Block of Wausau, Wisconsin was populated with 340 chalk artists who were assigned a space in which to complete their pastel works, which typically spanned a wide range of abilities and genres. The chalk artists produced everything from depictions of superheros to recreations of master works or original pieces of art. This was the 11th year for this sidewalk art festival and all weekend large crowds toured the works in progress.

Art managed to make a trip over to the Valley Line on April 16, 1981. This view looks south from Washington Street in Wausau. There appears just to be one lone unit parked on the mainline. You wouldn't recognize this scene today. Art Anderson Photo - My Collection
these two old soldiers work in the yard job, putting together a 588’s train. 589 came into town a short time later with zero cars. I didn’t have time to stick around after that.
I was very honored (and excited!) when my sister and future brother-in-law asked me to design their wedding invites for their upcoming nuptials in Isla Mujeres, Mexico and their welcome home reception in my/our hometown of Wausau, Wisconsin. Can't wait for the wedding!
That was 5 years ago now but when the picture was taken, it appeared that the switcher had been on sight for only a few weeks. The old Alco they had was sitting down on the interchange track, ready to be set out to pasture.

Wausau's Balloon Glow was a colorful way to light up the night sky on Saturday, July 14, 2013. Taken at Wausau's Municipal Airport in Marathon County.
Former Rogers Cinema, 310 North 4th Street, Wausau, Wisconsin. This early-20th century building, originally called the Bluhm Building, was first used for retail. In the mid-1920’s a funeral home opened in the building, which lasted until the late 1930’s. On August 19, 1942, the 670-seat Hollywood Theatre was opened on the ground floor of the structure. On August 31, 1960, following a refurbishment, it reopened as the Wausau Theatre. In 1978 Rogers Cinemas took over and on February 23, 1979 it was renamed Rogers Cinema. It was later twinned and renamed Rogers Cinema I & II in 1979. They later increased the theatre to five screens. It was last operated by Marcus Cinemas under the name of the Rogers Cinema, but was closed February 28, 2002. The theatre then became a nightclub named The Fillmore, and by 2018 it was home to the Downtown Mission Church.
While visiting my brother in Wausau, Wisconsin a couple of years ago we came upon a very well curated collection of gas station and early automobile signage.
