SDL's and Wood
Being they worked the Upper Peninsula for most of the WC's existence finding the SDL's and wood wasn't all that uncommon. This is late evening train 34 with 590 leading 60 cars at Soo Yard on June 23, 1995. That is conductor Ronnie Taylor making the joint which means engineer Kenny Sebastian is in the cab and will have the task of getting 590 to lug this heavy train as far as Trout Lake. WC is power short and thankfully when this job meets train 35 at Trout Lake there will be an SD45 handed off to these guys before they leave for Gladstone. The log racks on the head pin are off CP and are going to the L-P plant in Newberry.
