WSOR 3812
Title:  WSOR 3812
Description:  A WSOR train approaches Island Road from the east on its return to Horicon from Oshkosh. The train is about half way between Pickett and Ripon. Though not as refined as their maroon and silver mates, there is something appealing about the scabby blue workhorses sometimes referred to as Mexi-wrecks.
