GTW 5860

The West Bend Job pulls onto the connection track, as the conductor resets the switch for the WSOR main line.  I thought that the train would tie up here, however, it would continue on towards West Bend -- recent changes to the operation of the West Bend and Saukville Subs has WSOR moving cars for both jobs between Ackerville and North Milwaukee.

The track in the foreground, meanwhile, is the former Fox River Valley mainline, which has been mostly unused since the early days of FRV's integration into WC subsidiary Fox Valley & Western.  It connects to the end of UP's Granville Industrial Track near 124th Street.  Mark W.
