The Thiele Clay trackmobile in Wisconsin Rapids is usually near the clay mixing building. |

Aerial view of the back side, taken 5 years ago.
There's a small city street west of the plant, near the spur from the CN/WC, and the trackmobile gets there occasionally. |

the rubber tires are way above the rails, and are not touching the shiny drive collar on the track wheels on this end |
Halfway to getting back on the road. One end lifts and then the other. I should have watched the wheel lifting closer. Or take a video. |

No need for run-around tracks for this little loco. Just run back to the driveway near the building and fit into a gap between cars and couple on again. They can 'turn on a dime' to get between some very small gaps between cars. |
