Trackside action from around the Badger State and beyond, 2007-present. Wisconsin and Southern Railroad (including prior to the Watco era), Canadian Pacific/CPKC, Amtrak, Canadian National, Union Pacific, and BNSF are the railroads most frequently seen. Also many steam locomotives (from standard gauge to 15") and excursion trains. The railfan formerly known as HighIronofWisconsin on YT from 2008-2023.
Three Manifests on the CP Tomah Subdivision, 1/27/2015 - CSX Dash 8s, DM&E EMDs
After chasing the WSOR L463 from Devil's Lake to North Freedom (see previous upload) ten years ago OTD, I followed through with my original plan for the day and went to see what was running along the Canadian Pacific Tomah Subdivision mainline.
In these days before PSR and distributed-power everything, there were a lot more manifest (general merchandise) freight trains in each direction daily. First up is eastbound 298, which has a Norfolk Southern C40-8W second out.
Waiting for them at Lewiston Siding was westbound 287, with a couple of CSX Dash 8s in YN2 paint.
After moving east to a location just west of Portage, we last see westbound regional manifest 471 with Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern...

Wisconsin & Southern L463 Reedsburg Sub Local Freight Train Chase 1/27/2015 - Wigwags & P3 Horns!
Просмотров 2242 часа назад
Ten years ago on this day I was en route to railfan the CP mainline when I heard a track warrant being given out for the WSOR local on the Reedsburg Subdivision. I detoured to Devil's Lake State Park and set up, and before too long the train emerged out of the fog and wound its way along the shore of the frozen lake. Ex-Missouri Pacific SD40-2s WSOR 4051 and 4052 have sixteen cars in tow. 4051 ...
105-Car WSOR Grain Train, WAMX 3928-4219-4174-4223, 1/15/2025
Просмотров 387День назад
Got a heads up that a 105-car unit grain train, loaded at United Co-op (formerly ADM) in Boscobel, was being re-crewed at Spring Green late this morning. This is on the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad's Prairie du Chien Subdivison, part of Wisconsin's first railroad, constructed by Milwaukee Road predecessor Milwaukee & Mississippi in the mid-19th Century. The train has four EMD locomotives in ...
Winter Railfanning on the CP Tomah Subdivision 1/13/2020 - UP EMD Power, BNSF, NS

A look back to five years ago on this day when I headed up to Portage, Wisconsin after work to catch westbound Canadian Pacific mixed freight train 281, which per a heads up had four EMD locomotives led by two Union Pacific SD40Ns (rebuilt SD40-2s). I was just in time, as minutes after I got set up the train appeared around the curve, and pulled in for a crew change (unfortunately, the very hor...
WAMX 4223 (SD45 Carbody) on WSOR L465 1/2/2020

On this day five years ago, I got in what turned out to be my only chase of Wisconsin and Southern's sole EMD SD45 (in appearance only, it has been rebuilt to an SD40-2 equivalent internally) leading a train before a mismatched all-gray door was installed on the conductor's side of the cab. Built for the Rio Grande in 1968, the unit was acquired by Watco and assigned to the Wisconsin & Southern...
A Monster CP M&P Local Heads Back to Portage 12/20/2019

The Canadian Pacific Railway's ex-Milwaukee Road M&P Subdivision runs 32 miles between Portage and Madison, Wisconsin. In recent years it is operated by a 3X-weekly local (Usually as job G64, now I64 in the CPKC era). On this date five years ago, I was on my way to finish up some last-minute Christmas shopping when I chanced upon the local leaving the WSOR interchange yard at Madison with a mon...

Ten years ago this day, we get two runbys of the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train in the Wisconsin Dells area. First at Bowman Road on the east edge of town as it approaches its performance stop, and then departing the stop on the scenic Wisconsin River bridge. This was the first year I caught it after they started powering it with GP20C-ECOs instead of AC4400CWs, resulting in the train being a b...

Ten years ago on this date, I had one of those rare days that can only be described as "Like shooting fish in a barrel, but with trains!" I went to the east side of Portage, Wisconsin, at the west end of the Canadian Pacific Watertown Subdivision (the line becomes the Tomah Subdivision from Portage Westward) and caught 12 train movements while barely having to move from one spot, with a very co...

On this day five years ago I went out to catch the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train on its annual jaunt across southern Wisconsin via their ex-Milwaukee Road/Soo Line Chicago-Twin Cities main. This ended up being the last train before the event was suspended for two years due to COVID-19, it resumed in 2022 which was the last one before the CPKC era. We see the train at Portage, Mile Creek Siding...
Mid-Continent Railway Museum "Santa Express" 11/29/2014

Before shooting the Iowa Pacific/WSOR "Polar Express" (see previous upload) ten years ago this day, I ducked up to North Freedom to catch a couple runbys of the Mid-Continent Railway Museum's "Santa Express" which was also happening that day. The museum's 1954 Baldwin RS-4-TC No. 1256 leads the train at Ulrich Road and County PF, two of the only four public grade crossings along their roughly f...
Wisconsin & Southern/Iowa Pacific Middleton Polar Express, 11/28-29, 2014
Просмотров 2672 месяца назад
For three years in the mid-2010s, the now-defunct Iowa Pacific Holdings in conjunction with the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad offered "Polar Express"-themed excursion trains during the holiday season, over a short stretch of the WSOR Prairie du Chien Subdivision from Middleton to a point just east of Cross Plains, WI. In 2014 the trains were supposed to feature two of Iowa Pacific's ex-C&NW E...

First up, we see the T007 train at the Middleton depot, heading out the Prairie du Chien line with WSOR 4030 (30th Anniversary scheme; now WAMX 4183 with the scheme badly peeled) long-hood forward. Then, L469 heads back to the yard with one from Vita Plus, crossing Wingra Creek on the Soya Spur (stub of the ex-C&NW "Ridge Runner" line to southwest Wisconsin) with the two then-UP yellow GP39-2s....

The preserved 1913 Soo Line L-1 class ALCo Mikado Soo Line No. 1003, based at the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford and first restored to operation in 1996, had to be taken out of service for its FRA 15-year/1472-day inspection/overhaul in the fall of 2010. It was initially expected to return to action on a "Toys for Tots" train in the fall of 2012, but additional problems surfaced and th...

Are Any Of DME GP40-2s ? Left On The Roster
Highly unlikely. 4004 was last photographed in 2023 in a dead line at East St. Louis, IL. I saw 4000 at the ex-NRE shops in Silvis, IL last October.
@BadgerlandRailVideos I Think Maybe Some Went To Leasing Companies
Awesome catches
Nice
Got some great shots of the grain hauler at 2 cool locations !!
Nice video! I never knew a high hood lead a train through Wisconsin within the last 10 years! That's something I would've never expected to see.
Thanks! Yep, when I saw the heads up on that I knew it was one I had to go out for!
Nice catches!
Great Video 🚂🛤🎳
Looks like you had decent weather for filming those catches.
@@johnalder6028 It was cold, but it could be (and in a few days from now, will be based on the forecast!) worse in Wisconsin this time of year.
All kinds of great Winter action captured.. Liked the UP/CP lash ups !!
Thanks!
Love the local action.. Great shots at several cool locations !!
Thanks!
Excellent Video 🚂🛤🧨🎊🎉
Great video and catch!
Nice chase
Happy New year cheers
So instead of pot ash and steam we now have diesel pollution which is worse. WHY not an electric engine??? Charge it with wind and solar.
Nice video, do you think you could tell me when they run, I would like to catch them sometime, Thanks.
Thanks. For a while now they've been back on a 8 PM call time at Portage which means the entire run is in darkness unless they run out of hours and have to be recrewed on the way back the next morning.
Thanks,@@BadgerlandRailVideos Although cool, with that timeframe I Probably won't be able to catch this one. Thanks Anyway!
Great video and catch!
Killer engines and train captured !!
@@backalleyrailroading2835 Thanks!
Nice
Awesome captures of the CPKC Holiday Train!! 👍🏼🎅
good catches and video of this holiday train with good horn action nice catches of the CSX and CP freight as well
You got some terrific shots of the Holiday train.. Subbed you back for future content !!
Thank you!
Nice catches!
great catches and video of this holiday train
Great video and catch!
Great video! I just edited my CPKC video taken in Oconomowoc. It will post Wednesday.
Nice catches! Me and my dad got this train in Elm Grove on Juneau Blvd. My first time ever catching the Holiday train. (Even though Ive known about it for like 8 years at this point.) A fun night for railfans for sure!
pretty cooool i’ll subscribe for that
that intro is illegal btw
Um, no?
@BadgerlandRailVideos its illegal to place things on train tracks as it is federal property
@@LunarLightShowProductions No...they are not "federal" property. For that particular shot I put my GoPro on the ballast without ever stepping off the sidewalk at a public grade crossing.
i love those F7 streamliners
This one is an E8A now at Illinois Railway Museum.
@BadgerlandRailVideos ah nice looks the same as a F7 tho at least the same era
Thank you for sharing the videos, warms my heart on such a cold day.
Run like the wind !
@@johnalder6028 🤣
do you wave back at the people when they wave to you? just curious
Awesome video! CPKC uses very little power too in the Twin Cities. Very long trains with one lead loco and a DPU.
Yup, was definitely different 10 years ago!
Well i heavily remembet this when i was 13 it was pretty nostalgic
Just a note to say thinks for the subscribing to me and I will be back for more of yours. I love sunny days, shortlines and EMD locomotives.
Great catch!
Great video and catch! Love the snow in the shots as well.
Great video!
I was on the train as a polar express conductor and car host
Hey man I'm desperate to ride a steam engine in wjnsconsin but its impossible because they destroyerd all there railways especially Milwaukee :/ do you know a place?
Aside from this one, there's the Whiskey River Railway in Marshall (also miniature sized, 16" gauge instead of 15" like this one) and the Laona and Northern's "Lumberjack Steam Train" in Laona. Not far south of the state line is the Illinois Railway Museum in Union which currently has two operational steam locomotives. However, most of that is currently shut down for the winter season apart from a couple of weekend "Santa Train/North Pole Express" type events. I know R&GN is having one coming up later this month.
These kids aren't exited?
Great video and catches!
Sweet !
Great video and catches! KCS and CP power's definitely been getting more mixed-up since the merger than the PanAm units after CSX took 'em over.
Santa loves Wisconsin ! Nice catch.
BORKAGE!!!!!
@@markperry4165 Haha, yup.
This video is amazing.
Thanks, Bianca! Meant to get back up there this fall but didn't get around to it. Maybe next year.
great video
