Wisconsin and Southern/WRRTC Business Train Chase 5/18/2007
Duration: 5:13Source: YouTube
The Wisconsin & Southern Railroad ran its business train from Janesville to Madison for executives and commissioners from the Wisconsin River Rail Transit Commission to inspect the line using the view from the Theater Car "Stone Gardner". Power was WSOR E9As 10C and 10A, which have since been renumbered 101 and 103, respectively and had an E9B join their ranks. Ditchlights and new plows also make the locomotives look different from the time of this video. We saw the train first at Milton Junction, taking the wye track towards Madison. The other wye track to the Waukesha Subdivision is visible in the foreground. Next we caught the train crossing County Highway M west of Milton Junction, then pulling into the depot at downtown Edgerton for a brief stop to let some reporters off. Finally, we shot the train making what was at the time "track speed" through the Williams Drive grade crossing in Stoughton. The Milwaukee Road (former owner of this line) was a big user of the high-pitched Western Railroad Supply Company "Mini" crossing bell. One of several dozen specimens remaining around former MILW lines in southern Wisconsin sounds the alarm for the approaching train at Williams Drive.
