I work on the North side of milwaukee and my companys lot is only 1500 feet or so
from the wisconsin and southern railroad and somedays trains come by only with in
about 20 or 25 minutes of one another but one thing is that it is only a one track mainline so some where between where I see them and the next one the trains switch over so the next one can come on though and even a few times a month a special passenger train comes though with with two f-7’s pulling it. And even sometimes thaes are full blown trains with all of the fixings and I have seen every kind of engine I could think of from switchers to regular engines and every road nome to from the Illonis central to the wisconsin central but one thing I do know is that they have a yard around 32nd and hampton were they get set up to move up the line and even do the ocasonal switch job along were I work.
Um…would appreciate some punctuation and paragraph spacing please
Spelling would count also.
I realize we are not all perfect,and do make spelling mistakes once in awhile,
But welcome to the forums, and please try to do better.
hahahah
Welcome to the forums, and we hope you stick around, but do you wanna try that one again?

Whew… did you stop typing to “breathe?”
welcome to forums.
Wow! [yeah]
Anyways, you must work near the line that runs northwest from North Milwaukee yard. WSOR operates this line, and CN/WC has trackage rights over it to reach their line, that runs north out of North Milwaukee, and they use any variety of power these days. WSOR also has their shop north of North Milwaukee, and regularly bring their executive fleet down to the shops for work etc. WSOR also has trackage rights over the CN’s line to reach their Superior Sub to Plymouth, which CN just abandoned this year – nothing like leapfrogging trackage rights!
Glad you get to see some trains on this line!!! Check out a couple web pages I have on North Milwaukee:

I cint spill wurt a dim eater! But, I’m not an English major, either. Welcome!!!
Once, my step-daughter had her spelling skills pointed out on a forum that she likes to visit. Some guy really laid into her every chance he could about her lack of spelling and writing skills. Her feelings were really hurt by this. I messaged this guy and asked him if he would please ease up on my step-daughter because she has a learning disability (<---- spell check, please) and this forum (the one she visits) is her only real social life. He must have given this some thought, and came to the conclusion that he was judging someone without really knowing that person’s (my step-daughter’s) background. He apologized and everything has been good since.
Well- - - - is anyone going to answer to answer the poor guy! Now we are all experts in the English language are we?? rf619 letter does include spelling errors, where were all you guys when some of the most deplorable examples of communication was rampant a while back?? Just read a few other replies to see some really atrocious butchering of the language.
Railfan 619, [#welcome] Don’t sweat the small stuff. My only concern is that now we have “road nomes” in northern ILL. UP has enough problems on their mainline.[(-D]
Once again, Welcome and have fun.
