This is 4008, a GP-35M (a deturboed GP-35 from the Mopac) headed to Burlington to do some switching. Most of WC's GP-35's and some GP-40's have ditch lights on the front and rear.
At Mukwonago, the rail grinder had to get in the clear for the rock job, which was just coming out of Burlington.
Here is the rock job, which usually consists of one SD-45 and about 25 ex CN ore cars. This job usually runs daily.
Here we see 6598 sitting with the rail train behind. New rail is being dumped off near Waukesha.
Train 46 making its way to Milwaukee. Too bad the lead engine was dead when it went by.
About 4 miles south of Theresa Station we see the SP ore train. When it gets to Liethton, it'll take the E,J & E around to get back to the SP.
