Dave- <br />North Fondy has a yearly celebration called "Pride Days), and from '88-'97, they used to give guided tours of the shops and diesel house. The WC would also display a new repainted engine and a few repainted freight cars. <br /> <br />One year, a friend of mine entered the local demo derby and the WC sponsored him. We took the car right into the paint shop, the painter walked over, and gave the car a quick coat of WC maroon! We were also given "do not hump" signs, plus a large WC sticker(the ones they put on the cab sides) for the roof. Unfortunately, my friend stuck it to the roof, even though the railroad wanted it back.[:0][;)] Never did hear how that worked out, but he didn't lose his job over it.[}:)] <br />I've also been on tours of Stevens Point's shops and dispatching center during NMRA meets back in the late '80's and early '90's. <br />Ah, the memories of the WC![8D]
