Glad you enjoyed your tour of "our"(WC) yard, Kathy.[:D] <br /> <br />Years ago, I was allowed access to the yard anytime Fran Wiener was around. We would prowl the servicing area, snapping pictures of anything that struck our fancy. Then we'd sit in the offices of the roundhouse/diesel house for hours and watch slides that Fran had shot over the years.[:D] <br />After his death in 1990, the SW-1 assigned to Shops duty was named for him. Several of my friends have operated "that old beast."[;)] <br />North Fond du Lac has "Pride Days" and in years past, the WC would open the Shops for tours, and have a re-painted diesel and several freight cars on display. All that ended after the CN takeover... <br />Kevin Dempsey--drives a black Ford 4x4, right? Yep, know him, too....[}:)][8D]
