The Last |
Description: |
At the time, the SD45 era was on its last chapter, and only about a month and a half left before the saga ended. But, this morning was a sight for sore eyes for sure, when the WC 7519 was seen with two other EMDs at New Brighton. This would be the last time it would ever lead out of town on 406 again. |
