WAMX 6023, WAMX 6031, WAMX 6029, and WAMX 5900 |
| Description: |
It had been a long time since I had shot anything on the Wisconsin Southern, while my Dad had never shot anything on the Wisconsin Southern, so we were both excited to start our day along the railroad headquarters in Janesville. CP and UP were both supposed to run their transfer jobs to the WSOR that day as well, so we were expecting to get some pretty decent morning action. However, when we arrived, everything was quiet, but plenty of engines sitting around the shops. Just like G&W has been doing with the GEs, WAMX purchased a number of larger six axle locomotives, these being older SD60 variants from the UP. Some of them have been repainted, as can be seen with the triclops SD60M to the right, but some have not been, as can be seen by the units in the yard. |

A closer shot of the repainted triclops, sitting with a triclops still in its UP yellow. One thing I will have to say; I like the new paint, but Im glad Watco didnt put too much patchwork on these units like LTE had done when G&W was thinking about going the EMD route. They still look pretty good. |

WAMX 6023 and WAMX 4219 |
| Description: |
A nice comparison of the new and old paint schemes side by side as L353 passes the repainted triclops. A lot of fans that I knew were not big fans of the new paint scheme when it was finally revealed. I think it is pretty unique. |

After dropping off their train, WAMX 4219 heads back to the engine facility and parks in front of the triclops units. WAMX 5900 takes a spin around the turntable to the left of the frame. |
