I'm with LC on that one.
Didn't realize it had been around that long.

And I DO like the paint job!

[bday]Today is the Wisconsin and southern's 24th anniversary. They offically began operations out of Horicon WI on July 1, 1980. Anybody who knows me knows I love the WSOR, so I wanted to let you all know about it. I'm pretty sure there 1st paint sceam was a green and yellow, wasn't real good in my opinion. They then had, for a short while, a few engines in Baby Blue. Then they switched to a slight variation on there present Red and Gray scheme. Durring that time I belive the switched owners twice, but it could have been a few more, but the current owner has owned the company since 1988. I can't wait till next year when It will be there 25th. [:D]

A happy Noah.
