WC SW1500 #1559 - Wisconsin Central |
| Description: |
Built by EMD in July of 1966 as Kentucky and Indiana Terminal RR #68, it was absorbed into the Southern Rwy as #68 in 1982. In 1994, the loco was sold to Wisconsin Central and renumbered 1559. Sometime after 2011, it was repainted in the CN red, black and white livery with the telltale "WC" under the cab window. It is still on the CN roster in 2020. This is a Paul Wester slide. |

| Title: |
WC SW1500 1556 - Wisconsin Central |
| Description: |
This SW1500 switcher started out as SP # 2652 built by EMD in July of 1972. In July of 1988 it was sold to the Wilson Rwy who immediately resold it to the Wisconsin Central in August of 1988. After that point, the history gets a little fuzzy. Not sure how this photo of it sitting in Connersville, IN fits into the lineage. It supposedly was sold to Cleveland Works Rail Operations as their CWRO #1556 and there until at least 2014. Another photo shows this loco in CN colors with the WC under the window back on the WC roster in 2019 at Stevens Point, WI. This photo pictured here was taken by an unknown photographer. |
