This is the train that runs through my hometown of Stoughton, on the ex-Milwaukee Road line between Janesville and Madison. The good news is no one was injured, and no hazardous materials were involved.

A derailment on the WSOR? Get out of town!

Dang!
Now that's what I'd call a derailment!
Glad nobody was hurt!

Modelling details:
note the way the trucks fall off the cars, and the axles (axleboxes) fall out of the side frames.
Photo 7: new weathering detail: black streak on floor just above the wheels.

Definitely some great weathering info in those photo's.

There is no way those are models.
Nobody is THAT good!

Wow. Anyone know how the de-railment started in the first place? Too fast around a bend, bad connection between cars, etc? Some great shots of the underside of the cars for detailing, or like has been mentioned, weathering. Wonder if Deano knows about it, he likes the WSOR
