Message: 1 Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2002 03:53:23 -0000 From: "boo54914" <rjs_@_athenet.net> Subject: Wisconsin Central 6634 Evening Folks- I am a longtime transplanted resident of Ridgewood, NJ now living in the cow fields of Wisconsin. New to list and first post. I just thought I'd share some news from the midwest that may be of interest. Will post a pic of it files section, also. I mentioned this in the Anthracite List too. Today, in almost excellent condition ( B/O turbo ) CN sold WC 6634, albeit EL SDP45 3656 to a small museum in Spooner, WI. Though small, it has a dedicated staff, and will take good care of it. Given it's location, it will most likely stay WC colors; though there is a more than passing interest in reverting it to EL colors. I used to see this in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ on time freights in El colors. I followed it closely on the WC. I was concerned that it was to be scrapped. The turbo went just before the WC sale to CN, and was scheduled to be replaced; but penney pushers kabashed that idea and sidelined it. I am happy it is being preserved; though the winters will be hard on it. I thought you'd be interested in this. Regards, Bob Schoneman rjs_@_athenet.net ------------------------------
