Snow has been falling and nighttime is upon us at Duplainville, Wisconsin on the eve of January 26, 1996. Wisconsin Central train No. 47 is switching at the north end of Duplainville siding and on the point of today’s turn to Milwaukee is former Algoma Central SD40-2 No. 6005. The headlight and signals at the north end of the siding illuminate the falling snow in the nocturnal landscape as the train pauses for the brakeman to walk a cut of cars being picked up. Then it’s a night run to North Fond du Lac.
