Wisconsin & Southern SD40M-2 # 4079 leads two sisters (# 4001 and # 4005, both SD40-2's) across Narragansett Avenue on the Milwaukee District/West Line. This was the strangest thing I'd seen a train do in a while, as the train slowed before reaching Narragansett, and only the power made it across Narragansett before the train reversed. It looked like a 50+ car consist and I found it strange that it'd reverse on a main line, especially given the fact that it didn't reverse onto the Galewood siding/holding tracks. Anyone have any idea why they reversed like this? Thanks for watching!
