Current Wisconsin Central Roster

Yes they did. It was actually renumbered from 4001. When the WC/Oxford units were running, there was an engine in that group numbered 4001, so to avoid confusion they renumbered the 2 WC engines from 4001 and 4003 to 4012-4013.

The original group of WC GP38's(ex-MoPac rebuilt GP35's) were numbered 4001-4011.

On the roster it says that, but it goes from 4011 to 4013. Skipping 4012.

I did some more digging and found through a dogpile.com search using the phrase "Wisconsin Central Roster" this site: http://www.ole.net/~rcraig/WC2.HTML.

It says:
"Road No. Qty Model Notes
2051-2061 11 GP35M Were 4001-4013; 2053 gone"

Is that not accurate? Not flaming just trying to validate what I found.

[coborn35]

Nope.

The 7496 is down at Woodcrest.

Rumor has it that my favorite SD45 ( my AOL screen name too ) WC 7505 is being retired. 7502 is also believed to be retired. Not sure if its true yet, but we'll see.

[wcfan4ever]

Sad to see the 6598 retired and then the 2500 as well may be gone if CN has anything to do with it!

[wctransfer]

WC 6598 was retired on the 24th. Derailed in Mellon. Pretty deep in the ground on the engineers side. The 2500 was hit by a milk truck, but only the fuel tank was ruptured.

[wcfan4ever]

WC 7525 and WC 7638 are both still running as of today!!!

[Anonymous]

WC SD45 #7638 OPERATION LIFESAVER is still operating in CN Trains.

Spotted it at the end of February 2006.

NRE builds the center cabs otherwise known as the Gen-set switcher. So they'll probably be used for the center cabs.

I'm surprised 6596 hasn't been retired yet... What with the bent and broken handrails and all:

Any assistance will be welcomed.

Oh, my. Someone else who likes that area. I visit there frequently when I go out. I like the relatively open areas and scenery. Although Honey Creek seems to be a strange little town.

BTW, welcome to the forums.

Since Jan. 2006, CN has retired what appears to be 13 SD45's! Here they are...6521, 6555, 6582, 6583, 6586, 6588, 6590, 6597, 6604, 6614, 7500, 7509, 7589!

Sad to see this happen to such great locomotives! I suppose with CN getting thier new locomotives in, they don't need the WC "JUNK" around anymore! So unfortunate!

Those frames are going to be used for the UP Green Goat program! At least they are being used again! All of them except for the 1504 which was scrapped a while ago.

HI everyone it seems like when ever I see a WC train rolling though wisconsin it's begin pulled by Wc engines but most times I'll see a CN loco in the mix to and I really had no idea that the Wc was for sale and now that I know that it's a sad day in Railroad history
but anywho if anyone can get an updated list can you pass it onto me thanks[:D][:D]

[wctransfer]

So you are still around! Lets keep this thread alive. Ya, i heard from WCinfo. What a shame. Sucks to see all the WC's disapearing. Im going to hopefully get a better camera ( 5.1 from the 3.2 i have ) for christmas so i can catch a couple units with nice quality. Today they had CN[V]2524 and WC[:)]6555.

Within the last few weeks, all the GP7Lm's were scrapped at Woodcrest. From what I understand, they were cut down to the cabs and frames and were sold to NRE for possible conversion to Green Goats. Is CN interested in any of these locomotives?

[wctransfer]

More WC power on todays transfer.

WC 6583
WC 6907

Also , is WCfan4eva still around?

Alec

[wctransfer]

Today on the 405 / 406 transfer they had WC GP40 3012,WC SD45 7581, WC SD45 7500. 49 Loads-25 empty's. 6963 ton. 5000 feet.

All 9 of the SDL39 should still be running on the Ferrocarril Pacifico SA in Chile. They went down there in 2003 and are now 5'6". There is a picture of 2342 (585) on page 72 of the Dec. 2003 Trains.

Are any of the SDL39's still operating? I recall seeing them first in the Milwaukee Road orange and black paint before WC repainted them. Neat little locos....
