As of this time there have not been any sales of former WC SDL39's, all are still stored on the property. I would look for them to move on to a...
Railboss, Be sure to make your distinction between careers in mechanical vs. operating crafts. As far as "yard engineer" only, most railroads make...
Thank you for the comments. I really haven't had the opportunity to keep up with the site as much as I would like. Eventually the locomotive...
Hi, Just as info all of WC's SD45's are still pure SD45's. Both of the units pictured were rebuilt in-kind by the WC, and have Q-Tron...

As I have been taught on three different railroads I have worked for, the "F" designates the front of the locomotive, all hand signals and radio...
I personally am partial to GE's C44-9W as about the best I have worked with. The cabs (well, CN's version, anyways) are quiet, and well designed...
