WSOR 3805 |
| Description: |
The WSOR job on the Markesan branch passes the Stellmacher elevator in Fairwater as it heads back to Horicon at night fall. A lot of tonnage comes off this former Milwaukee Road branch from sand quarries. There are a handfrl of customers on the line. Though it still has a spur, I have not seen anything spotted at this elevator. I don't get over there to see very often. |

WSOR 503213 |
| Description: |
A WSOR boxcar is set on the north track that connected the Milwaukee Road with the CNW line in Ripon, WI. This track heads east and now ends at the Seneca canning plant, rather than going to Fond du Lac as it once did. Straight down the rail is north where Ripon Jct. is located. Ripon Junction is where the tracks diverge and run to either Oshkosh or towards Rush Lake and a former junction there. The tracks that would have gone to Rush Lake and beyond now end at the side of a factory on the north side of Ripon. However, the actual useage of this ends at the Alliance (former Speed Queen) factory where a large pile of gravel protects Oshkosh Street. The line to Oshkosh is still open and well used. |

| Description: |
Looking south from the site of the former CNW crossing of the Milwuakee Road in Ripon, WI. The track going off to the right is a connecting track to the CNW line to Princeton and beyond. This skirts along the edge of the Gothic Mill Pond and now ends about a quarter mile from this turnout, short of Scott Street. The CNW depot was located along this stretch of rail, now it is only a storage track. Ahead, between the turnouts is a short bridge that crosses the Gothic Mill Pond. The Milwaukee's depot was just around the bend. It is no longer standing. This siding the hoppers are on is now used to transload bulk materials into covered hoppers. |

Two WSOR units and nine cars at MP 176 in Pickett. The United Co-op bay for unloading covered hoppers is just visible to the left of the photo. This bay is one of the improvements made after United Co-op purchased the Pickett Co-op. The Pickett Co-op unloaded covered hoppers open to the elements into a pit with a conveyor that transferred the load directly into trucks or the farmers gravity bins. The new facility allows for storage of the commodities unloaded and mixing in the elevator. |

WSOR 3804 |
| Description: |
At Pickett, the WSOR reinstalled this section of track that had been pulled up many years ago. The old track was used to serve a canning plant that changed hands numerous times. I think it was a Chiquita plant last, before it was closed and production shifted to Ripon in what is now a Seneca facility on a section of former CNW rail. WSOR laid this section in preparation to serve American Colloids, which was moving into the building. This never really took off and American Colloids moved out. The building is now used by Quality Protective Coatings. They use the facility to perform contract work for Oshkosh Corporation. The track is used for storage, usually of DODX cars. |

CRDX 14454 |
| Description: |
A cut of cars stored by the WSOR in Cambria. This track is former Milwaukee Road that went from Milwaukee to Portage, Wisconsin via Horicon and Beaver Dam. The line now ends here in Cambria at the Del Monte plant, which does not seem to use rail service, hence the line beyond the Didion and Seneca plants is frequently plugged with stored cars. |

This is the current end of the line of the former Milwaukee Road line from Milwaukee to Portage, Wisconsin, via Horicon and Beaver Dam. The spus into the Del Monte canning plant is still in place, but it doesn't appear to be used anymore. |

ACMX 107951 |
| Description: |
Four covered hoppers set on a siding just north of Fenton St. in Ripon in the area that was once the center of the Milwaukee Road presence in town. The depot was located on the green space left of the turnout marker. Where the cars are spotted, they are often loaded via an auger conveyor by truck. Spilled corn along here indicates that perhaps that is what is being trans-loaded. |

ACMX 107951 |
| Description: |
Covered hoppers set out along the former Milwaukee Road right of way in Ripon. Cars are often loaded here via conveyor from trucks. Spoilage on the ground indicates corn is probably the commodity being transferred. The Milwaukee Road depot was located on the grass in the foreground. Remains of the platform and foundation are still visible if searched for. |

CCBX 71261 |
| Description: |
Looking railroad "east" along the former Milwaukee Road right of way in Ripon. Covered hoppers are often set here for trans-loading from truck via conveyor. This area was once the center of Milwaukee Road activity in Ripon. The depot was located in a position that would have appeared between the cars and the grade crossing signals, which would be between Fenton S.. and East Fond du Lac St.To the right of the cars there was a nice sized elevator for grain. There was also a fair amount of other sidings and business served by rail here in years past. |
