A day chasing trains in Wisconsin, Saturday June 18, 2005
| This former C&NW coaling tower is located at Clyman Jct, WI on the Adams Subdivision. |
 |
| Sorry for the picture inside a picture but the gondola messed up a closer coming shot of this Road Railer train with 103 trailers. This was the quest for the day. There were two other fans at this location waiting for this train. |
 |
| The UP SD70 is eastbound and will meet a westbound local about 1/2 mile down the line. |
 |
| The local is visible in the distance as the trailers continue their journey east. |
 |
| These two wig-wags ONCE protected this rural crossing. If you look carefully, you can see the foundations for the new flasher and gates which were installed less than a week after these photos were taken. |
 |
 |
| A short distance from the crossing with the two wig-wags was this wig-wag that J. David Ingles is leaning against. |  |
| Here we see the speeding Amtrak train #8 on the Canadian Pacific east of Columbus, WI. |  |
| Here Amtrak train #7 is entering the south track of the double that runs from Watertown to west of Columbus, WI. |
 |
| The day began at Clyman Jct. and ends at Jefferson Jct. on a branch south of Clyman Jct. Here we see UP #1244. |
 |
| This caboose is used on this branch. At one time the track where the locos are sitting ran from Milwaukee to Madison. Today it is just a switching stub that deadends behind the photographer after serving a large malt plant, the main reason the branch is still in service. |
 |
| Here is another view of the crossing of the north-south branch that once ran from Fond du Lac to Janesville, WI and the east-west branch that once ran from Milwaukee to Madison, WI. |
