A load of plate steel waits to be unloaded at Leeco. Leeco is served by the WSOR via former Milwaukee Road rails into Oshkosh. This car has been shoved through the Leeco building, off spot. It will need to be pulled back into the building (off shot to the left) to be unloaded. The Silver Star Brands (Miles Kimball) mail order facility is the large pole building in the distance. |

SOO 1003 |
| Description: |
A pleasant surprise on a fall Sunday morning was spotting this excursion on the former Milwaukee Road line connecting Cambria and Horicon. The train was pulling 11 freight cars and a caboose. From what I saw on social media on the internet later this day, the excursion was paid for by a private group with a main focus on photo opportunities and and recording the sound for a sound decoder company. |

SOO 1003 |
| Description: |
A look across a harvested cornfield just east of Randolph at a steam excursion, pulling only freight cars and a caboose. Information gathered via social media found this to be an excursion to record sound for a sound decoder and photo opportunities for those who helped cover the costs of the excursion. Some of us were just lucky enough to be driving around looking for trains on this day. |

SOO 1003 |
| Description: |
SOO 1003 leads an eleven car and a caboose freight along former Milwaukeer Road (now WSOR) rails east of Randolph. The train will soon be crossing Beaver Dam Lake, which would have been a great spot to catch the train crossing the lake on a bridge if one had known ahead of time. One would need to know land owners or use a boat to get the shots, but they could have been awesome. |

| Description: |
Canadian National usually works Oshkosh at night, running a turn from Neenah. The local is caught here on the east side of the Jackson Street grade crossing. It is between Jackson Street (State Road 76) and Main on the north end of town. The train will be headed to switch covered hoppers stored on the west end of this former CNW industrial spur used in service with Bemis Performance and Pacur. A good sign here is two empty center beam bulkhead flats that could have only come from Noffke Lumber. That is a good sign of activity at the lumber yard. |
