One of our favorite locomotive types is the SD45 and it's variants, so since WC has lots of SD45's and some F45's, it seemed like a natural to shoot. WC was very nice to us, we got tours of the dispatchers office and shops at Stevens Point, and a tour of the shops at Fond du Lac. We caught a GP3O and SDL39 on Byron Hill, a taconite train on the hill with 2 SP AC's and 2 WC units, DM&IR SD9's, UP run through trains, lots of SD45's, some SD24's and an SD35, F45's and boy d0 they look good in WC paint, and a Saturn getting nailed by the local in Black Creek. Our best selling DVD ever!

This is a really fine look at the Wisconsin Central before the greedy Canadian National swallowed it up and send it into history. The operations from the shop to mainline action is well covered. Some foreign power is seen on run throughs, and older signals are still in use. Great video.

This video does a great job of documenting the Wisconsin Central in the 1990s. You'll see sharp looking SD45s as well as F45s strutting their stuff on heavy freight trains. My personal favorite from the video is a former Soo GP30 leading at local. If your a fan of the Wisconsin Central, this video is for you!
