Extra West
WC didn't run many extras up here in fact less that 50 come to my mind over the entire lifetime of the railroad. Most of those were plow, passenger or work trains. On August 9, 2001 they did run this extra freight though as 6598 made a late afternoon run east from Gladstone with some hot cars for the Munising branch and then ran the SD around the wye. They then picked up SDL 588 along with the 52 car connection off the Munising branch and departed westbound for Gladstone. Here they are near MP447 west of Trout Lake pouring on the ponies as they get up to track speed.
