    A set of four ET44AC's have made their way onto the WMRC system, these are currently a lease/trial run for the fleet. If they are overall well-liked by the company and crews, the four will be purchased, with an additional six to replace the aging fleet of C41-8W's and SD40T-2's. Of course, the company will also be looking into either leasing out or selling off the SD40M-2 fleet as well, though, those could be shifted onto the KERC or LSRC property as needed.






    The WMRC Office Car train has a new refurbished pair leading, with a throwback Maine Central scheme to boot.

      SP train CNPTU (California Northern ex-NWP interchange at Suisin-Fairfield CA to Portland OR unit train) consisting of 80 cars from Napa Pipe in Napa CA, plus bookend buffer boxcars, headed north to Portland. Train has 3 GP40-2s for power plus a tunnel mole SD45 for the helper. Would love to have a CR Leasing C30-7 (ex-ATSF) in sterile blue, as part of the helper, wedged in between the SD45 and rear buffer boxcar.

          Still can't say I am a huge fan of this scheme, as I have my gripes about it.. But, I do appreciate the hard work Anthony has put towards this project. It turned out pretty awesome.

            Those passenger cars look pretty nice shawn. Maybe a dome car would fit right in .

              Thank you good sir glad you are enjoying it! I'll be keeping a close eye on 9375, see how dirty she get's might do a weathered version. also what another CPKC units pop out.

                    ​Oh, no worries. There will be more to come. The plan between us is for four locomotives and roughly 30-32 cars to accommodate comfortably two separate OCS trains. Domes and super domes will be included.

                    Considering the equipment I've seen up may way, It will probably look like it's spent huge amounts of time on the former SP lines with all the tunnels. Maybe I'll get "lucky" and see it up my way. I'm still hoping to see an MRL SD70ACe make it's way over here on the windmill trains..

                              I believe KCSM ES44AC 4805 is now a CPKC-painted unit. It was trailing on CPKC 251 heading to Pigs Eye in St. Paul, MN.
