This is a page wrote for Keith, in June, 2005, and now I have web space to re-post it. here are my pictures I have of W-80, plus some others. These first three have a lot of contrast, and were on Echtachrome and are a bit grainy to do much more with. NOW knowing how rare it is to get close to equipment, if I had the opportunity again, I would take a lot more close-up detail pictures. Also, it's cheaper to shoot more pix with a digital now. Medford, Wisconsin, 1982. |

This one is interesting, the wing hinge pin broke, see chain. There are paper tags on the chain, saying something about send to shop. Maybe a casualty of the rock cuts of that area? It WAS W, now R, 80. A Wisconsin Central unit now. Ashland, Wisconsin, when they still had tracks near downtown, 1986. |

Picture below, You gotta admire the guys who ran this thing. It's even cruder than the one at Mid-continent Rail Museum in North Freedom, and that one has been in their museum for over 30 years. Great for operator visibility. Superior, Wisconsin, 1999. |
