Eastbound Wisconsin Central train T048 with a pair of Southern Pacific General Electric AC44CWs is pulled down and stopped just short of Pioneer Road for a Rugby Junction meet with a westbound.
This SP power would have come up to North Fond du Lac with an empty coal train whose hoppers would then be cleaned out to be readied for a load of taconite pellets off the Missabe.
Very often while the hopper car cleaning process was taking place there at Shops Yard, the SP power would be “borrowed” for a quick turn down to Chicago or Milwaukee instead of sitting idle during its layover. – July 13th, 1996 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
