In this video, we’ll take a look back at Wisconsin & Southern operations in 2003, 2019, and 2020 over their Prairie Subdivision between Madison and Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, featuring two generations of WSOR locomotives. Locomotive models SD20, SD40, and SD40-2 are featured in this show, wearing a mix of WSOR, WAMX (Watco), and HLCX reporting marks. We were fortunate to capture the Prairie Sub while several wigwag crossing signals were still active along the line, adding some extra character to this former Milwaukee Road route. Impressive bridges, wigwags, preserved Milwaukee Road depots, and fascinating shortline railroading can all be found along the Prairie Sub.
