Wisconsin & Southern Railroad 25th Anniversary
Janesville, WI
July 9, 2005
 |
WSOR 4025 is decorated in a special 25th anniversary
paint scheme. |
 |
WSOR business car train in attendance. |
 |
WSOR 2053 wears the "Operation Life Saver"
decal on its long hood. |
 |
The WSOR Operation Lifesaver" trailer, shown
here in Madison, was inside the roundhouse for all to see. |
 |
| The real hit of the celebration was SOO #1003 under steam. Every so often they would blow the whistle and ring the bell. This is a rare view of the engine with noone up close examining it. |
 |
| In keeping with the theme of the day, this banner appeared on the side of SOO 1003's tender. |
 |
They were also celebrating the 100th anniversary of
this roundhouse with food, displays, and company store inside. |
 |
The doorway helped to frame the scene outside. |
 |
One of the more interesting exhibits was this wheel
set getting ground. |
 |
| At the end of the celebration, they moved the SD40-2 off the turntable and slowly put the 2-8-2 on it. It was a tight fit with a lot of easy forward signaling. |
