Flashback flares
22 years ago WC 7525 was working the local here. It looked great in its one of a kind OLS livery but over a year into CN ownership the future was not bright for the SD45s. They would soldier on for years yet but steadily dwindle and leave the roster until they were all parked. Once retired some went to other railroads, some to scrap and a couple to preservation. 7525 would be one of the lucky ones and end up at IRM after its working days.
