correction to above post:
IRM has CB&Q SD-24 #504, not 508!
WC 7525 is a ex-BN SD45 but it will not be put back into BN paint. I'm looking forward to seeing it running this year, as well as seeing the SD24 back out again in fresh CB&Q paint. Yes, the CB&Q 9911-A is the only operating E5. IRM also has the last existing baldwin centercab, as well as both the first GP7 and SD7, CNW 1518 and SP 1518.

I'm not sure if my sources are correct. As the list I have is actually quite old. Judging by the locomotive numbers it was pre 1997 or 98. So don't take the information by heart. This list is saying that all the 65XXs where changed to the 75XX with out the other 2 numbers not being changed, but WC didn't do that all the time. So I'm not sure if this is correct or not. So here it goes.
WC 7525 was originally WC 6525 (Involved in the Weyauwega Derail. If this list is correct that 6525 did turn into 7525). Originally it was WC 6539, and before that it was BN 6539. She was built in August of 1971; I'm not sure when BN retired her.
Again, I don't know if this info is Valid
