OK, that makes sense.  Yes, the WSOR is owned by Watco, and the spur they are on has not been used by Inter-Tract for a long time.  Iv'e seen Cryo-Trans on other web cams, and they are heavily graffitied. 

Thanks for the reply.

Mike.

Elkhorn is in the middle of nowhere, they are storing the cars for rent money (more than likely for BNSF Railway......which has a refer contract on it's Pacific Northwest to Chicago route).   WSOR does that more frequently now that they are under new ownership.    BNSF Railway has been having issues with those refers being heavily graffitti'ed or vandalized in storage so it does not surprise me they sent them way out in the country for storage.

Kind of a local WI question, for anybody that knows the operations of the WSOR, they recently parked a string of Cryo-Trans reefers on a spur in Elkhorn, WI that leads to the Inter-Tractor Corp.

Just wondering if anybody here knew anything about it.  Something I've never seen before, and sure was an eye-catcher traveling on I-43.  I didn't get any pictures.
