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.

Some of the things that I have seen in the Toledo, OH. area over the years
These were from May 06, 2007
On February 19, 1988 LO-41 works the yard at Trout Lake with 706, 6498 and 715. An SD45 on the Marquette line was rare at the time and remained rare on that trackage through most of the WC's existence but one had been requested for use on the Marquette hill to reduce the amount of doubling to get the freights up it. 6498 was the choice and did work Marquette for a few weeks but with it limited to just the main on the ex DSS&A it made for poor utilization and the 45 was needed much more elsewhere on the new system and was quickly returned.
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.

CaterParrott Railnet GP40s 7001 and 7004 are at Madison, Georgia in May 2022. Both served on Wisconsin Central's roster through the 1990's.
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.
The crew of Wisconsin Central train 219 poses with the train’s lead motor, recently-repainted WC EMD SD45 No. 6554, at Waukesha, Wisconsin, on May 6, 1995.
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.
