WC 3000
Title:  WC 3000
Description:  The 18 year paintjob has lost a lot of color, but its still looking pretty good. Many moons ago, this unit wore the Dark Green and Orange of the Western Pacific. With this engine down here today, the total amount of WC's on the R916 transfer job this year totals four, which back in 2003-2004 would have been on one train.......

Old Friends
Title:  Old Friends
Description:  On the way back towards Dolton I made a quick pit stop to a yard that I have long hated. When I was younger this was the place that you never wanted WC's to come to, as this was the final resting place for many of them. So to find a few maroon and gold GP40's about the complex was only right, and It was nice to see some old friends again after quite a few years.

Title:  WC 3006
Description:  Let me tell you, when I pulled into the parking lot, I couldnt believe my eyes! Three WC units, all different models, were the power! Getting closer and closer to the extinction of WC SD45s, I was happy to see it found a spot in the consist!

WC 3024 D&D
Title:  WC 3024 D&D
Description:  Dead and Drained is the first native unit to New Brighton this year. Maroon and Gold at New Brighton, dead or not, is something that is a refreshing sight. Only about 4 WC's visited in 2008, and since the SD45's were rid of that has pretty much been the story.

WC 3024
Title:  WC 3024
Description:  A former WP Geep joins another fallen flag Geep this morning, the GTW 4909 is of Mopac heritage. Still with its original 1990 Imron paint, this is one of the best looking GP40's left. This, while being a nice set of power, is with only one good unit. The WC 3024 developed problems the night before only 2 miles out of Stevens Point, and the reports are not extremely promising.
