"Humpback" end of GECX 2029 |
| Description: |
This gives the Tier 4 GEVOs a distinctive look apart from their Evolution Series predecessors. Also note the two-chime back-up horn. Some newer EMDs, such as the Tier 4 SD70ACes, also have them, along with the CP GP20C-ECOs, although I have yet to hear a crew actually use one in place of the main horn when operating the unit long-hood-forward. |

GTW 6221 rolls up to the west end |
| Description: |
After the morning L518 Biron mill run, the crew (or another, perhaps the L558 Necedah turn) performed other work with this unit throughout the day while I was chasing L581 to Wausau and back. |

M344 creaks around the curve on the connection to the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW) |
| Description: |
The ex-GBW main continues to the right (east), but stub-ends just west of the former 17th Ave. N crossing (south of the two existing RR crossings on that road). About 2,800' of the line is removed up to just east of 10th Ave. N, where a tiny stub formed by the southwest quadrant connecting track to the ex-MILW Valley Sub still exists for some reason. Then the line is removed through the former location of the diamond (done almost immediately upon the acquision of the GBW/FRVR by WC in 1993). Additional connecting tracks on the east side of the ex-MILW line allow for service as far as Plover. |

M344 flies west into the dusk, crossing County Highway D between cranberry bogs |
| Description: |
This part of the Whitehall Sub (ex-GBW main) runs through the heart of west-central Wisconsin cranberry country. On Google Maps, I see three cranberry farms within two miles of this spot. According to the USDA, as of 2016 Wisconsin produced 64% of the nation's cranberries. |
