Colorful Locomotives in Wisconsin Rapids

March and April, 2018. Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, USA

A variety of locomotives pass through town. Often related to frac sand trains.

.

The GTW looks abandonned under snow, but its just that it snowed 20 inches in one weekend in April

.

An east bound CN sand train coming to 25th Avenue

.

BNSF and NS power waiting on the wye

.

And the next morning, 2 of them are on a loaded sand train pulling up to 25th Avenue.

.

.

And on another morning at 25th Avenue, an interesing combination is being assembled onto an eastbound loaded sand train.
Is that a GP-40 being added up front? But the number series say CSX 8069 is an SD-40.
Still, that's small compared to most for a sand train.

And I was too far away to see the number on the silver locomotive, further back.

.

A lone BNSF moving across 25th Avenue in the middle of the day, I don't know why.

.

.

It looks like a GECX might be on a Woodtick one night.

A low aerial view of the yard office and locomotives by Dura Beauty Lane.

.

and that CP 8828 is the same locomotive seen in the first picture, weeks earlier.
