WSOR 3804
Title:  WSOR 3804
Description:  Two WSOR units and nine cars at MP 176 in Pickett. The United Co-op bay for unloading covered hoppers is just visible to the left of the photo. This bay is one of the improvements made after United Co-op purchased the Pickett Co-op. The Pickett Co-op unloaded covered hoppers open to the elements into a pit with a conveyor that transferred the load directly into trucks or the farmers gravity bins. The new facility allows for storage of the commodities unloaded and mixing in the elevator.

WSOR 3804
Title:  WSOR 3804
Description:  At Pickett, the WSOR reinstalled this section of track that had been pulled up many years ago. The old track was used to serve a canning plant that changed hands numerous times. I think it was a Chiquita plant last, before it was closed and production shifted to Ripon in what is now a Seneca facility on a section of former CNW rail. WSOR laid this section in preparation to serve American Colloids, which was moving into the building. This never really took off and American Colloids moved out. The building is now used by Quality Protective Coatings. They use the facility to perform contract work for Oshkosh Corporation. The track is used for storage, usually of DODX cars.
