WC 6606 - 8/13/1997
As a follow-up to my previous photo posting of the Canadian National rock train, here is a shot of a similar job (with the same SSAM open top ballast cars) back in the days of the Wisconsin Central. I don’t remember exactly when the WC started running these, but it was quite a few years before the CN takeover in October of 2001.
This view is eastbound loads passing the old Soo Line depot in Waukesha on August 13th, 1997. – The WC symbol for this train was L053 and a single SD45 seemed to be the preferred power back then. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
