I got another chance to chase the MALPM today(with a WSOR unit on the point this time). Here are a few of my photos from the day:

I started my Day at Merrimac WI, with photo at the bridge. Today wasn't bad up here weather wise, but of course a cloud decided to block to sun right as the train made it's way out onto the bridge.

The Next photo comes at the Highway 113 crossing. I just, and I mean just made it to the crossing in time for this shot. I actually took it out of the window of the car!

The Next is the good old Baraboo Depot. Here the MALPM backs up to drop off the Plastics car for temporary storage on the team track.

With all the backing up, I got a chance to move to another spot to get this shot as the Locomotive backed up to go back to it's train in Baraboo.

Next they went to Perry Judd Printing, where I got a shot of the short trackage of "street running"(if you can really even call it that, it just crosses an area where a parking lot meets a street, probably 100 feet long or so).

Now a new angle that you folks haven't seen from me at least before. This is from the Highway 12 bridge in Baraboo. Usually I stand off to the side and look down the hill at it, but this time I walked right up next to the track on the bridge for the shot.

Now it's on to Rock Springs near the Co-op in town. The Moon can be very faintly seen over the closest grain bin, I take it he's a railfan too! [;)]

This Next shot show the train arriving at Reedsburg, just about to cross South Dewey Ave. He had to pick up one lumber flat and drop off three Cars of Plastic in town today.

And my Parting Shot of the day. After leaving the rest of it's train back near the short pass, 3801 moves ahead to go into the switchback to pick up an Empty Lumber car at the Hartje Lumber Spur.
All and all I had a good day, but then again anyday with a WSOR train is a good day......[;)]
