Viewing Album:  Fall Trip to Wisconsin with Ethan: Day 2
 
By:Jacob Werling
Dates:10/17/2020 - 10/17/2020
Album Info:For the past couple months Ethan and I had a 4 day trip planned to the cheese state for some train photography and hopefully some changing leaves. We ended up coming away with some awesome grabs and overall had a spectacular time! Today we spent our day along the WSOR and CN mainlines and also got some traction action (haha) on the East Troy Electric Railroad! Enjoy!

East Troy Electric Railroad
Title:  East Troy Electric Railroad
Description:  It looked near impossible to try to follow T4 back toward Janesville so we decided to continue eastward. The boys at Whitwater told us to look in to the East Troy Electric Railroad, a small interurban electric railroad that is home to several vintage working interurban cars. Ethan and I decided to head on into East Troy. When we got to the Museum, sure enough, 3 engines and cars were coming back into East Troy after the 14 mile turn.

Description:  Then came a total shock. Behind the other two engines were South Shore Interurban Cars... yes, South Shore Interurban Cars. Running. Neither of us had any idea that there were operating South Shore Cars in the United States. We had no plan to even come here at the beginning of the trip. It just became one of the best detours we couldve made.

TMERL L8
Title:  TMERL L8
Description:  With both engines and the cars stopped now awaiting the next run, Ethan and I decided to do some looking around the museum and the engines and cars being used today. The museum was very nice and gave a lot of nice facts about the equipment that is used on the railway and interurban history in general.

Description:  The East Troy Railroad received several of these older South Shore interurban cars back in the mid 2000s and is the only railroad to run them on a regular basis. Super neat!

East Troy Electric Railroad
Title:  East Troy Electric Railroad
Description:  After some more exploring and looking at the interurban cars, Ethan and I decided to go get some lunch at Subway. As we were leaving both the green car and the repair car were taken into the car shop behind us, leaving the South Shore Cars as the only cars that (should) would be making the trip back to Muckwonago.

Description:  After grabbing some lunch at Subway, we went down to the cemetery on the east side of town to await the 12 PM run east to Muckwonago. About a half hour later after the scheduled departure, the South Shore cars came around the bend with another set of passengers. Here the train passes the distant signal at "Trent Junction" which I would assume is now a place where interurban cars get off the mainline to allow other ones to pass. At one time though it was clear that this was used to serve local industries in East Troy.

CTA 4453
Title:  CTA 4453
Description:  We followed the cars (which despite how the tracks looked were moving at a pretty good clip) up to a passing siding southwest of Potter Lake. The cars stopped and we couldnt figure out why. We then looked behind us and low and behold a pair of CTA cars were heading back toward East Troy!

EJE 703
Title:  EJE 703
Description:  Since we basically shot the entire East Troy Railroad in length now we found it as a good time to break off and go to the CN, as it was now right around the corner. One of the big objectives on the CN was to catch EJE 703, which had been working on the Waukesha Local for quite some time now. EJE 703 is the only remaining EJE painted engine with the classic green "J Ball" on the nose. However, since it is a weekend, we were aware that the engines (if they were where they usually are parked) would not be moving and we would have to settle for stills. Sure enough, upon arriving at the Waukesha station, both the EJE 703 and CN 9530 were parked in the usual parking spot with a gondola. Time for some stills and some CN action!
