WC 719 L5455 Waukesha,WI. JUL 1997

            A warm July morning sun has risen in Waukesha, to illuminate the power for the Wisconsin Central's Burlington Job (L5455) in the downtown yard. The shadow from my train is in the foreground (L201) which is the "rock Job" we will be taking to Grayslake and back to Spur 105 for loading. We will meet L5455 on our return trip at Vernon, as they race south and we head north after their passing.
719 was built for the Soo Line in June 1963 and was a faithful soldier until October 1987 when it was retired and picked up by the Wisconsin Central. 719 was sold off to the DSRC (Dakota Southern) for parts when the Canadian National deemed it useless, and by August 2018 was nothing more than a shadow of its former self after being stripped of any usable parts.
