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. |

Fading Fast |

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. |
