WAMX 3894
Title:  WAMX 3894
Description:  A Wisconsin and Southern train fouls the grade crossing at the intersection of Clairville Road and State Highway 91 on the edge of Oshkosh. The crew is doing some final switching at what is now a United Co-op facility (previously ADM, and before that WSOR Transload facility). The train will then depart for the return to Horicon. The WAMX's are new to the WATCO owned Wisconsin and Southern (WSOR) to replace the 3800 series GP38's.
