WC 7525
Title:  WC 7525
Description:  The 7525 was offically retired from the CN Roster in December of 2006, but was unretired to be used as a lease unit, or was it to paybacj horsepower hours owed to the UP? When either of the two expire, expect this unit to be retired again and back in the Homewood deadline. What made it even more special is that I went out on a wim.

Talking to the DS
Title:  Talking to the DS
Description:  The crew of WC SD45 7525 talks to the IRM dispatcher, which is located in the tower behind it. The tower is from the junction at Spaulding, IL and is of EJ&E heritage. Hard to believe that next year both the'WC and the EJ&E will be owned by CN, but at least this SD45 will be staying in WC paint.
