That does look like the Wausau area.  Nice shots!  When were those UP shots taken?

When did you take the pictures of the WC SD45s. Please don't tell me they where recent.

Any way. Here are a couple shots at Point. I'm just starting to really learn how to take pictures, so there not the best. Sorry, these are kind of in a random order. I also thought this was my lucky day, I got 4 different WC locos.(And yes defiantly they are take in Wausau. I can tell by Weston 4 and the Elu Claire River Bridge.)

WC SW1500. Workin on the engine.

WCFan, thanks for the Wausau and Stevens Point shots, they sure do bring back memories of my very early railfanning days.

Here are some shots I took at the South Yard in Wausau.(WCL has already seen these) I consider my self kind of lucky as I got to see 3 WC units. But only got a Picture of one. WC GP40 3012 was there, it arrived on the Prentice to Wausau Local. I had forgot my camera and didn't come back. Now around 5ish I came back with my digital. Come to find out the Fondy to Wausau local had showed up with WC SD40-2 6004, and IC SD40-2 6064. There was also a WC SD40-3 Grey goast (Forgot the number). Now I looked for 3012 but come o find it was behind the Fondy to Wausau local. So no shot of that. But I did get the WC and IC unit. I ran out of memory from other pictures I didn't down Load on the computer and missed a Shot of the WC SD40-3 grey goast. So here are the shots from two different angles. I hope 3012 is still there tomorrow but I highly dought it.

Picture taken on 7/10/07 around 5:15, Wausau WI, with a HP635.

Neat shots!  I have one of the WC 2500 somewhere in Neenah around last fall, I think.  If you're interested I can email it to you along with some others.
