Wisconsin Central #17
Wisconsin Central Limited #17 is seen at Stevens Point, WI on August 12, 1988.
Perhaps with an obvious lineage, the #17 is former Milwaukee Road #992217. Having come to the Soo Line through their 1986 merger, this caboose remained on the former Soo Line property and was assumed by Wisconsin Central forces to have been included in the WCL transaction. As it turns out, the financial institution that held the lease did not approve of this and required that the caboose be returned to Milwaukee reporting marks and sent off property.
