WC Tribute
Last night, word quickly spread that the W&LE's Wisconsin Central painted SD40-2, No. 6316 is currently in the process of being repainted and equipped with PTC. The 6316 was one of my personal favorite units on the roster so it really sucks to see it go. Earlier this summer, I lucked into the 6316 leading a late eastbound 228 which had a lot of trouble on their run from Bellevue, which resulted in a perfectly lit morning run east out of Creston. Here, they are seen rolling through some dense foliage at a location known as Snively, just west of Brewster. A while back, somebody got a bit ambitious and decided to reapply the WC nose logo to this unit. The logo has faded out significantly since then, but when looking at the nose, the number boards are the only real clue that this engine is owned by the Wheeling. Unfortunately it will be a bit more obvious once it emerges from the shop.
