The Wisconsin and Southern's Southern Division, or as some still refer to as "the Wicket", hasn't always been part of the original WSOR family. It started in the same state of despair as the Northern Division was with the Milwaukee Road looking to abandon hundreds of miles non-profitable lines in Wisconsin. Several railroads attempted to revive the lines including the Chicago Madison and Northern, Central Wisconsin and the Wisconsin & Calumet. On August 21st, 1992, the Wisconsin and Southern took over operations of the Southern Division and has flourished since. In this volume, we take a look at the WSOR's Southern Division that includes the Waukesha, Reedsburg, Watertown, Fox Lake, Madison and Prairie Subdivisions. We also view trackage rights trains on the CN's Waukesha Sub and over the Canadian Pacific in Milwaukee. Many colorful WSOR trains are captured across the states of Wisconsin and Illinois led with SD40-2's and GP38-2's. Also included are recently acquired units from the BNSF and N de M. And we capture more action of an inspection train with the WSOR's elite E-9's! From the rich, fertile farm fields to the bustling cities of Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison, you will enjoy watching this vibrant regional railroad working across America's Dairyland!

I had purchased both DVDs, Vol. 1 "The North Division", and Vol.2 "The Southern Division". Both are very good, with exceptional coverage of operations, and excellent camera work. I had previously bought the Plets DVD covering the Wisconsin and Southern, and was very disapointed. Chris at C. Vision did a knockout job on these two programs, and I highly recommend both DVDs to anyone with even a passing fancy of the W&S.
Additional remarks by R. Nelson: Narration:Just enough. Would kids enjoy this?Maybe. Image quality:Excellent! DVD Value:Good Value Recommend to others?Definitely.

the wisconsin & southern railroad vol.2 continues looking at the wsor this time looking at the southern division (the southern division wasn't part of the wsor until the railroad acquired it in 1992) the southern division looks at the Waukesha, Reedsburg, Watertown, Fox Lake, Madison and Prairie Subdivisions with more trains providing great action much of the motive power featured is the wsor's sd-402's and gp38-2's and more footage of the railroads e9 units pulling an inspection train and more of units of the former burlington northern and Nationals de Mexico in edition there's also a union pacific train making an appearance hauling a ballast train overall c vision has done a fantastic job covering this railroad which i think is one of the regional railroads i like a lot this is another fantastic 2 vol set you'll want to add to your collection
