On October 11, 1987, the first Wisconsin Central freight train to climb Byron Hill out of Shops Yard at North Fond du Lac, approaches the top of the grade at Byron, Wisconsin. Apparently, crews at the locomotive shop in town spent the morning removing Soo Line lettering from the locomotives and applying WC initials to the cabs of these three units to symbolically show the flag of the new railroad as soon as possible.

Wisconsin Central SD45s 7524 and 6620 lead an eastbound train through Oak Park IL on CSX-B&OCT rails approaching Austin Blvd, May 1999. #WisconsinCentral #SD45 #B&OCT #ChicagoIllinois #Chicago #ChicagoRailroads #ArtGrossPhotography #Trains #Railroads #Railroadphotography #railfanning #trains_worldwide #railfanning #daily_crossing #trainspotting #railsupremacy #everything_transport #train_nerds #trb_express #railfans_of_instagram #train_explorer #railfannation #railmarkable #newtopographics #allcitiesarebeautiful #industriallandscapephotography #documentingspace #film #kodachrome #oldchromes
Almost the year 2021, 20 years after the WC was absorbed by the CN, and a Wisconsin Central GEVO brings a loaded potash train up Byron in the early morning hours. The clouds have just cleared, making the fresh paint on this engine stand out. She looks right at home.
Not quite as pretty as K-Mads throwbacks, but for two decades past this is damn good. A lot of changes in this Twin Cities staple. The containers have become quite bland, the St. Anthony Parkway bridge has been replaced, the elevator off of California St is brightly painted, although some tree growth is starting to diminish its presence.
All in all, still a very nice overview of the T Yard. And what a leader, one of the very few non-dynamic SD40-2's left in Class 1 service.
In a scene that's classic WC train 35 lead by 2252, 584 and 4007 rumble's east at Kinross. The ex SOO GP30's on there Alco trucks were my personal favorites, but you really couldn't find any fault with the ex CNW's that came from the FRV merger in fresh WC paint. Shot from early April 1996. A rescan.

The other WC SD45 that was preserved was OLS 7525 which went to IRM in Union, IL. WC 7525 and a 6900-series flare killer leads a transfer from BNSF back to Pokegama, working through M&J Jct. back in August 2006.
Around this time CN was using interesting transfer/shover power around Pokey including spare DMIR 200s and WC flares. This didn't last and the maroon helper/transfer power would be replaced by CN SD40-2Ws, cowls, and even EJ&E power. Eventually standard CN road power would take over these helper/transfer assignments.
Just out of Livingston Rebuild Center and ready for pickup to their new operators.

CaterParrott Railnet GP40s 7001 and 7004 are at Madison, Georgia in May 2022. Both served on Wisconsin Central's roster through the 1990's.
It's a fine spring afternoon as the 07:30 south yard switch crew is at beans, while a southbound WC freight is about to depart towards Chicago from WC's Shops Yard.

Wisconsin Central 3025-3012-3024 waiting for a train to haul them to their new home. Rebuilt and painted by Livingston Rebuild Center from Western Pacific GP40's.
3003 is an SD40 with numerous owners and numbers. Rebuilt as a lease unit by LRC, it is former CNW (925) and before that CGW (405). Purchased by MRL as their 3003 and again renumbered 222. The unit was sold and scrapped in 2001.

At first glance one can tell right away this was an ex-SP unit based on the front and rear light packages. That makes it cool in of itself the other odd thing about this shot is I can find no other photos of it in this particular scheme.
Last night, word quickly spread that the W&LE's Wisconsin Central painted SD40-2, No. 6316 is currently in the process of being repainted and equipped with PTC. The 6316 was one of my personal favorite units on the roster so it really sucks to see it go. Earlier this summer, I lucked into the 6316 leading a late eastbound 228 which had a lot of trouble on their run from Bellevue, which resulted in a perfectly lit morning run east out of Creston. Here, they are seen rolling through some dense foliage at a location known as Snively, just west of Brewster. A while back, somebody got a bit ambitious and decided to reapply the WC nose logo to this unit. The logo has faded out significantly since then, but when looking at the nose, the number boards are the only real clue that this engine is owned by the Wheeling. Unfortunately it will be a bit more obvious once it emerges from the shop.
