Early WC
On February 19, 1988 LO-41 works the yard at Trout Lake with 706, 6498 and 715. An SD45 on the Marquette line was rare at the time and remained rare on that trackage through most of the WC's existence but one had been requested for use on the Marquette hill to reduce the amount of doubling to get the freights up it. 6498 was the choice and did work Marquette for a few weeks but with it limited to just the main on the ex DSS&A it made for poor utilization and the 45 was needed much more elsewhere on the new system and was quickly returned.
