WC 7523 & WC 17 Remote Control - 6/7/2001

At the ore yard in Escanaba, Michigan – Wisconsin Central SD45 #7523 is paired with caboose #17 in a remote-control setup switching taconite loads in the yard.

 

The SSAM markings on the ore cars is for the Sault Ste Marie Bridge Company, a subsidiary of the WC. - I remember being surprised that they had spent money re-painting those beat-up old C&NW ore jennies. – June 7th, 2001 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
