The Saemann Avenue crossing, looking west |
| Description: |
These are the last wigwag type crossing signals left in active service in Wisconsin, and possibly in the country. A UP maintainer soon drove up and tested the wigwags. He told me I'd missed the train, which ran earlier on this day than it typically does (go figure), but at least I got some video of the wigwags swinging anyway. |

Shoving across a small timber bridge approaching Najacht Road |
| Description: |
After setting out their tank car for Plenco, YSB52 continues on shoving north of Sheboygan proper. This small local freight train only ventures on to this section of the line as needed, in territory that once served C&NW passenger trains between Chicago/Milwaukee and Green Bay. |

A Geep, four boxcars and a caboose |
| Description: |
To the right, behind the engine is a small portion of the Cargill (formerly Schrier) malt plant. The spur to it comes off the Kohler branch (former Sheboygan & Mississippi RR), down a steep hill and passes under the bridge as it crosses New Jersey Avenue to reach the plant. |
