    The traffic was a lot lower during the old Soo line days. There was a lot of traffic during the WC, but the trains were generally really short

      Its a neat area, with so much to offer! I need to get back out there, and soon. I want to capture the ELS, WSOR, more CN, and all of their locals running out that way. Thanks for the comment, and watching!

    Canadian National is such an interesting railroad with their roster of eclectic power but God almighty they can really make a mess of things if you give them a chance. I can't believe they tore out the tracks completely at the Soo Line car shops.

    Great video. I was just up in Fond du Lac. I wish there was a park or trail or something by the tracks as it’s hard to sit in one spot and watch trains in/around Fondy. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions.

    If you ever make back to central Wisconsin check out Wisconsin Rapids there is wye just north of the yard sometimes the CN the will turn the lead locomotive around on the wye to long hood forward to lead the train on the Whitehall Sub if the second unit do not have PTC so the lead locomotive can lead thru normally back to Wisconsin Rapids. Another factor is that the Whitehall Sub doesn't have any PTC at all, and every other sub division around it has PTC

    I live near CN stevens point. They have so much activity over there. I love looking at the graffiti over there. I got like over 1000 of train graff between CN Stevens Point, WSOR/UP Janesville, and a few other places.

    As a Wisconsinite Oshkosh is in the Fox Valley/ Fox Cities not considered Central Wisconsin. Plover is central WI.
    Also I wish these were presented in more laymens terms, I have no idea what some of things said about locomotives mean.

      @TheMW2informer GTW was absorbed by the CN in the mid 1990s. Ever since then, they've been slowly going away.
