Early in the Wisconsin & Calumet operation, a plow extra was run on the former Illinois Central line between Freeport, Il and Madison, Wi. The first unit purchased by the road, former Milwaukee Road GP9 #270 provides the power while former Santa Fe caboose #600 brings up the rear. The plow ended up languishing in the weeds at Summit (on Madison's west side) until the line was abandoned.
