Leicht Piggy Packer |
| Description: |
An old piggy packer safely secured on a private property at the corner of 9th and State Streets in Green Bay. I wasn't able to get any numbers from it and it doesn't match any of the photos I have seen in my Wisconsin Central books. My guess is that this was used at the WC's Oakland Avenue intermodal terminal, but I am not sure. |

End of Line in Manawa |
| Description: |
The red flag is visible marking the end of line in Manawa at the bridge over the Little Wolf River. The CN now owns this section of the former Green Bay and Westerns line across Wisconsin. The CN would get here from Appleton over former CNW rails to New London where it then connects with the former GBW line. Manawa still has the industrial spur running thru town just waiting for someone to use rail service eough to actually entice CN to start coming up here again. |

ATSF 999600 |
| Description: |
Former Santa Fe Ce3 class way car preserved at Avoca, WI. The 999600 was purchased by McMillan Publishing in 1985 from the Santa Fe. Evidently the caboose did some work for the WICT (Wisconsin and Calumet) and some how found itself a nice home in Avoca. Avoca is preserving much of it's historic areas centered around the railroad station area and even has an operating wig-wag guarding a grade crossing. |

PGR 1500 "City of Barron" |
| Description: |
A classic paint scheme on Progressive Rail's Wisconsin Northern GP15-1 at Norma in the northern section of Chippewa Falls. Progressive rail operates on track leased from the Union Pacific (Chicago & Northwestern) from this location to Cameron. At Cameron, the line splits and runs on track leased from the Wisconsin Central (CN) west to Almena and north to Rice Lake. However, satellite views indicate the line beyond Poskin to Almena is out of service, with grade crossings removed. |

Union Pacific - Canadian National Crossing |
| Description: |
Looking generally east along the Union Pacific (Chicago & Northwestern)R.o.W. to the at grade crossing diamond with the Canadian National (Wisconsin Central/Soo Line) The location is on the south side of the Chippewa River. There seems to have been a great deal more track down here in years past but all that remains in this part of town are these two "main" tracks. The CN track is a secondary main the the Twin Cities, the UP track leads to the interchange with Wisconsin Northern on the north side of town at Norma. |

PGR 42 |
| Description: |
The number of sand facilities and the number of car loads they put out is almost staggering. This is a short look into the Superior Silica Sands at New Auburn. There is much more to the facility than this shows. Twenty years ago, who would have guessed sand would become such a valuable commodity to the railroads, outside of insiders that were aware of the fracking potential for oil. |
