Title:  WSOR 216, WSOR 203, WSOR 107, MP 642902
Description:  A trio of WSOR MoW ballast cars (at least two of them are obviously former SOO cars) and a MP gondola spotted on former C&NW rails at Reed St. at Plymouth, WI on 17 Oct. '15. This spur, a remnant of the former C&NW mainline, was re-installed in the last couple of years. These new rails are part of the ongoing rehabilitation of the line to Kohler, WI. The active former MILW rails are partially visible on the right. The tall, white, masonry structure is an old creamery. I don't know who owned it originally, but previous owners include Plymouth Refrigerator Co., Kraft Foods, and Glacial Transit and Storage, not necessarily in that order.

WSOR 216, ex-SOO
Title:  WSOR 216, ex-SOO
Description:  WSOR 216, former SOO BLT 8-57, was 1 of a trio of MoW ballast cars spotted on former C&NW rails southeast of Reed St. at Plymouth, WI on 17 Oct. '15. I got a kick out of the old stencil near the base of the ladder on the right which says, "Keep off Roof, No Running Board," because the roof has also since been removed, obviously. This spur, a remnant of the former C&NW mainline, was re-installed in the last couple of years. These new rails are part of the ongoing rehabilitation of the line to Kohler, WI. The active former MILW rails are partially visible on the right.
