The following shots of the facility are from my collection. There is one spur that leads directly into the building and one that is outside of the building.

Even though Waukesha does not have any of its own flat cars, I have seen their transformers on QTTX and LNAL depressed flat, QTTX flat and TTPX bulkhead flats and even on a Wisconsin Central and UP flat cars. Not all of the transformers are shipped via rail, some are shipped locally via truck.
