That's one sweet lineup! Personally, I think the WC 45 should stay WC, the WC 45's travailed all across the country as run through power, and a lot of people remember them that way. I sure do.

What a line-up. Whats the Orange "45" in front the Baldwin? Is that the GN "45"?
|
Yes, GN SD45 400 Hustle Muscle.
|
Very nice shot. Hats off to these guys for doing such a great job to preserve railroad history. Great collection, outstanding restorations.
|
After viewing more images of the LSRM, I realised what the '45' was, should've remembered it myself though! But anyway, I reckon give the 7495 a respray in WC, and she will look as good as new. What are the plans for the Baldwin?

I agree on the paint for the WC 7495, they were to my memory the most friendly of any railroad in North America. Ridding of thier colors removes the kindness known to railfans and it only becomes just a memory. There sure would be nothing wrong with two preserved WC SD45's that remain in WC colors. Great Shot!
