Album Info:This is where it all started for WSOR. Former Milwaukee Road trackage connects Glendale Yard at North Milwaukee to Horicon, where branches radiate west to Cambria (a former through line once connected to Portage), and north to Oshkosh/Markesan. The Plymouth Subdivision also goes north out of Glendale Yard, with ownership alternating between WSOR and Canadian National. A short stub of a former industrial branch through the heart of downtown Milwaukee is still operated from that yard, as well. A few classic and/or unique locomotives can usually be found sitting outside the shops in Horicon.

The dual depots
Title:  The dual depots
Description:  The former C&NW depot (currently housing a restaurant) is on the left. The former Milwaukee Road depot is on the right. The closest track is a former MILW siding, and the track between the depots with the single covered hopper on it is the old MILW main. WSOR currently uses both tracks to stage cars for their Plymouth customers to the south.

Title:  MRAX 1501 with one of the WSOR Safety 1st Boxcars
Description:  This ALCo is in as sorry a state as the ex-NdeM GP38-2s were when they came to WSOR. The story goes that it was supposed to be power for an industrial switching railroad on the former Tower/AO Smith site in Milwaukee, which never really got off the drawing board due to property disputes.
