There are a lot of communities in the southern two-thirds of Wisconsin that would not have the level of freight rail service (if any at all) that they do today if not for the state and county-level rail transit preservation efforts that began in the early '80s and culminated in today's WSOR. |

WATCo's WSOR - Not too shabby! |
| Description: |
Although changes away from the Gardner era continue as WATCo accelerates its relettering and renumbering of the WSOR roster into its own (3869 and 3871 were 3810 and 3812, respectively), the red and gray still reigns supreme. 3871 was even given a modified version of the scheme in place of its ratty old NdM blue when it was renumbered. |

Call of the wild goose |
| Description: |
Apart from being one of only two units in the "updated" WSOR scheme with one fat gray chevron in place of the narrow ones on the short hood, I really wanted to catch 3871 leading because it is one of only two or three units left on the railroad with a well-tuned Leslie RS3L horn. |
