WSOR Transloading

Back to WSOR Home

With the constant demand for continued flexibility regarding servicing off line customers, WSOR is pleased to announce that we have developed, designed and expanded a number of key transloading locations. These site locations are intended to provide an alternative mode to customers that may not be directly serviced by the WSOR.

Each site location has easy access from major interstates, highways and city/county roads throughout Southern Wisconsin. WSOR prides itself in keeping our sites clean and safe. The real estate directly next to where railcars are spotted is free of debris and any potential obstacles.

WSOR has recognized the continuing need for multiple transloading sites throughout our entire 700+ mile rail system. If you can safely handle your product more than once, we are here to offer you a cost effective alternative to your current mode of delivery. At right you will find a sampling of commodities that have been handled at our various facilities however we are not limited to these raw materials.

Janesville WI Railroad

I don't even know how long it has been since I posted here, But layout update- It still runs.
I am still building my version of 3 railroads based on an article by Patrick Flynn in Model Railroader magazine. However there are some big differences

For instance we are making it in HO scale and in about the same size space, it is a fun switching layout that can keep 1-2 operators. Up to 6 trains can be staged once complete. But where this blog start is kind of in the middle. I am mostly doing it to keep track of interesting articles I find along the way that help me build this railroad as close to prototypical as possible.

Anyways here are  some pictures I found of the witco companies transloading ramp in the WSOR yard. Such a simple structure with so much operating potential. Cheers-
Google maps has some great overhead views of this transloading ramp too
