Passenger Trains > Hoosier State in the Badger StateDate: 04/22/15 12:42 Hoosier State in the Badger State Author: robj Walworth WI today on WSOR.
I am told this is Hoosier State future equipment(Iowa Pacific) headed to WSOR paint shop at Horicon Wisconsin. Not sure of routing but from Iowa Pacific in Elk Grove Village to Rondout to Janesville and then to Horicon. Had to brave sub 40 degree temps and snow flurries. Smile. Bob Jordan Edited 1 time(s).
