Remarks & Notes 
This view shows the cab ends of a pair of Wisconsin Central SW1500s assigned to heavy switching at Shops Yard in North Fond du Lac, WI. The 1556 is an early color scheme using the original cream color for the band. It also features the evergreen tree image with stacked lettering, and has a full set of chevron stripes on the cab face above the battery box. This unit was former SP 2652 built in June 1972. The 1564 shows the more recent scheme, simpler and using more of an armour yellow paint. 1564 was built in March 1971 for K&IT (no. 75), and later became NS 75.
