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was a favorite target of Midwest railfans from the arrival of the first ones in the late '80s until the last few were withdrawn by CN in the mid-2000s.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. |

| 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). |
