25th Avenue Trains

25th Avenue Trains

Wisconsin Rapids sees a lot of sand trains coming through from the Whitehall subdivision.
There's a pause when they get to 25th Avenue on the west side of town, getting ready to go through the yard limits.

This picture was in November, before it snowed.
Just a single engine, and earlier than the usual 7pm arrival time. So I wonder if the rumors are true
that more than one train operates west of Wisconsin Rapids.

Another eastbound train at 5pm

And here's sand going past the yard office by Dura Beauty Lane.

Empty sand hoppers wait on the old stub of the GBW main, east of 25th Avenue.

Here's a lot of power in the morning; with Ashley furniture containers, and sand hoppers are at the tail end of that.
From 25th Avenue, they were heading north to Junction City.
