WSOR 3811
Title:  WSOR 3811
Description:  The WSOR units continue to shove the LRS 13833 along the old CNW right of way to the Seneca canning plant on Ripon's east side. To get the car spotted within the plant, the engines will need to run around the car and push it inside the plant.

WSOR 3810
Title:  WSOR 3810
Description:  The WSOR switches the Bemis plant in the Oshkosh Southwest Industrial Park. The job comes out of Horicon on former Milwaukee Road tracks. Since WATCO took over the WSOR, the locomotives don't seem to be kept as clean as the old ownership had allowed.

WAMX 3891
Title:  WAMX 3891

WAMX 3891
Title:  WAMX 3891
Description:  A WSOR train reaches Oshkosh and enters the small yard. In reality this "yard" is not much more than a run around and is adjacent to the United Co-Op elevator facility with its numerous tracks. There is also a spur which serves as the WATCO Port and Terminal facility in Oshkosh, trans-loading granular commodities into these two bay covered hoppers via conveyor. The terminal facility also is involved in transferring between truck and tank cars marked with "inedible tallow". The flat cars with plate steel on them will be going to one or both of the two steel processing centers located on the line.
