Cookin'
Title:  Cookin'
Description:  Hard to tell from the picture, but with the Madison sub rehab, these trains can really cook! The Saturday morning T006 blasts through town at a respectable clip. A couple of motorists stopped, looked, and went, but might have thought twice had they known how fast this train was really moving. The days of lazily chasing land barges down to Janesville are over!

Green Goose!
Title:  Green Goose!
Description:  4013 is one of the newest (to the WSOR, anyhow) additions to the roster. The red and silver official paint scheme always looks sharp, but I've felt all my life that BN's cascade green was the perfect dressing for an SD40-2. Hopefully this gal gets to tour the system a while before hitting the paint shop in Horicon!
