A Coal and a Rail Train

A coal train (empty) was coming south through Wisconsin Rapids.

This is the Badgers, some quarter-mile long sidings on the west side of Wisconsin Rapids.
And there's the tail end of a rail train.

Its the orange EJE 656 on the other end of the rail train.
They laid rails through town the next day and then left.

All the above was 2 months ago. (although, an orange EJE is still in town, switching the mills, in early December, 2016)
In November, they dropped off piles of ties. But I don't know if they will install the rail this year, with Winter coming.
