WC 7525 paired with 20-cylinder compatriot Santa Fe 92 |
Description: |
The Wisconsin Central Ltd. SD45 was a favorite target of Midwest railfans from the arrival of the first ones in the late '80s until the last few were withdrawn by CN in the mid-2000s. Unfortunately for me I took up railfan-photography just a couple of years too late for them. Most of them came from the BN or Santa Fe, arriving in Cascade Green or Yellow Bonnet before receiving WCL's classy maroon and gold scheme. |

WC 7525 long hood with its Operation Lifesaver graphic |
Description: |
While it was nice that this one was preserved, I almost would have preferred one in the "typical" WC SD45 scheme. A few went to the DMV&W, but have been repainted into their orange and gray scheme. A handful of others "survived" for years in the vast diesel boneyard at NRE Silvis, but with the recent changes to that operation their future is likely bleak (if any even do survive as of August, 2022). |

The preserved WCL OLS SD45 was the Take the Throttle unit for the first half of the day on Sunday; it would later be moved to Coach Train service, and then triplehead with C&NW 6847/7009 for the final departure of the day. |

WC 7525 couples up to the Coach Train for a few Sunday afternoon runs |
Description: |
Wisconsin Central LTD was formed in 1987 amid large-scale changes in the face of upper Midwest railroading; it took over operations on mostly ex-Soo Line trackage that that railroad spun off in the wake of its acquisition of the Milwaukee Road. Through the late 1980s into the '90s the cornerstone of its roster became a fleet of well over 100 secondhand SD45s mostly of ATSF and BN lineage. Eventually painted into the road's handsome maroon and gold scheme, they became favorite "catches" among area railfans. However, upon the 2001 acquisition of WCL by CN, the 3,600 HP, 20-cylinder behemoths quickly fell out of favor and were retired c. 2005-'06. 7525, one of two in a special Operation Lifesaver scheme, was earmarked for preservation at IRM. A few others found second (or technically third) careers with other shortlines, but most languished at the various NRE boneyards, slowly being stripped of all useful parts before scrapping. |
