Description: |
Unloaded from the UP for quite some time, the 9926 still soldiered on with the BNSF at this time. Now, its almost certain to be on lease with CP. After that, this unit may very well be put to bed. |

The Last |
Description: |
At the time, the SD45 era was on its last chapter, and only about a month and a half left before the saga ended. But, this morning was a sight for sore eyes for sure, when the WC 7519 was seen with two other EMDs at New Brighton. This would be the last time it would ever lead out of town on 406 again. |

Remnants |
Description: |
The WC feel at New Brighton is somewhat substancial, even today with the SD45's gone. Ofcourse, the SD45's were alive, if only for a few more weeks, at this time. |

And not just the light. The WC 7519 is making its last run on the WC Transfer job at New Brighton. After departing town, it would never grace the rails here, or this young photographers lens ever again. |

When these arrived, they sure looked nice. They still look better than their junk AC44 counterparts, but these really put the last nail in SD40-2 coffins among all the Class 1's. |

After shooting this unit a few days earlier, I catch it again (trailing as usual) on 290. Although the chicken wires give it away instantly, notice the lack of the rear visor over the cab door, these were some of the earliest SD40-2's. |
