WSOR 3805
Title:  WSOR 3805
Description:  The WSOR job on the Markesan branch passes the Stellmacher elevator in Fairwater as it heads back to Horicon at night fall. A lot of tonnage comes off this former Milwaukee Road branch from sand quarries. There are a handfrl of customers on the line. Though it still has a spur, I have not seen anything spotted at this elevator. I don't get over there to see very often.
