The year is 1989 and we are set up just a lil south of Fond du Lac and to our surprise we catch train T002 which is based out of Fond du Lac heading for the Illinois Central's Markham Yard which is south of Chicago and we see a "Green Gator" 'as some crews reefer them' and a WC SD45 in charge of todays revenue with a good sized train in tow....President Ed Burkhardt noted that this has been a very commendable year in many respects. The high level of customer satisfaction that WC enjoys is directly attributable to the great personal interest that each of you has demonstrated in the company since start up....Wisconsin Central commemorated its first year by decorating SD45 6655 in a special paint scheme which soon became the railroad's standard...Ironically, 6655 would be the first SD45 retired, even though WC amassed over 100 other SD45's......So we were lucky to have caught it before it was taken off the WC roster.....
