Smoke On The Rails

            What looks like the ground mist that will often accompany an early morning Wisconsin Sunrise is actually lingering smoke from some large grassfires that had burned along the Union Pacific mainline the day before just west of Butler here at Marcy. – Since many UP trains no longer work at Butler yard anymore, the manifest rounding the curve in the distance had received their track warrant to head out on the Adams sub while they were still moving through Wauwatosa quite a few miles back. – So after hearing the scanner transmission for the TW I had plenty of time to make my way over to this location and wait while enjoying the developing scene surrounded by the fading residual aroma of burnt swamp grasses. – April 4th, 2021 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
