Today we went down to Duplainville one of Wisconsins good hot spots for train watching and when we got there we went down Green Road where we can get right along side the tracks and when we got there we seen a CN train holding the main as a CP Auto train headed for Chicago and the Amtrak Empire Builder headed for Portage pass each other before stomping over the diamond...After they left the CN train headed south to Waukesha to do some set outs in there yard and then on its way to Chicago
Just click on the pic to make it bigger
Heres some more pix of this route...
Once again we are set up Duplainville and today were following the Quad Graphics local that came out of Waukesha and as we see him waiting for the Empire Builder to clear the diamond headed for Milwaukee
The last of the cars rumble over the diamond
After the Empire Builder cleared they had to wait for another CP auto train headed towards Portage
Here comes the end
As the 2 trains cleared the diamond the local headed south for Quad Graphics as we see him here switching out the plant
Shot of todays power
After he got all done switching the plant they had to wait for a WC train from Chicago headed for Fond du Lac pass on by them in the siding
