The year is 1980 and the ailing Milwaukee Road has finished shedding thousands of miles of non-profitable secondary lines to evade falling into the history books forever. Unfortunately, that would come 5 years later. From the thousands of miles shed some would never see a train again. However, there were a few that had enough business to hold their own. One of those lines was the former Milwaukee Road’s Northern Division in Wisconsin, which consisted of 147 miles of railroad stretching from North Milwaukee to Horicon. Also, lines branching west to Cambria and north to Oshkosh and the segment going west from Brandon to Markesan. This whole division was on a list for abandonment since 1977 and with help of the Southwest Wisconsin Rail Users and Development Association; a new railroad was born on April 29th, 1980. From rags to riches we bring you the Wisconsin & Southern!

Lloyd –
Mainline action is always a huge railfan drawer, as there is lots of long heavy trains. But shortline and regional railroads also have a lot of great action to see. The Wisconsin & Southern is no exception. Located in the heart of American’s dairy country, we see a lot of interesting trains with a wide variety of power. E-9’s are likely my favorite in this video. Old work horses still seeing some action. For over 2 hours we are treated to some very interesting trains with a variety of paint schemes from other companies not yet painted to the W&S colours. Another fine production by C-Vision
