Correction to my previous post-

Most of the original 1500's
had the stripe, painted at Shops, but a few had the tree(the ones done
at Stevens Point.) Eventually the 1500's were repainted with the tree
scheme.

Caught a Few at point today. (monday June 18, 2007) These where taken on the same day. The first one is 1558, and the last three are 1562.

Here's 1562 in the shop. This is about as close as zoom as I could get.(With the digtal)

Ok, This is kinda Out of date. And I haven't been able to track All of the SW1500s, So I went off on info I had and assumptions. So I know some of it isn't right.

Caught #1558 in North Fond Du Lac today (07/17/07).

Maybe 5 or 6 years ago one of the WC 1500's was in a collision with another train along Broadway St. in Green Bay.  I saw the damaged unit with the trucks removed sitting on a flatcar near the wreck site.  It looked pretty rough and I can't remember the number and don't know if it was fixed or scrapped.

Well I got 1560, and 1552 at Point on Sunday.
