Love that Wisconsin Central livery
Same loco, same train, same bridges: Wisconsin Central 582 at Sault Ste. Marie in August, 1990. Both bridges cross the Saint Marys River to Canada, above the falls and the locks.
582 was built by GM's Electromotive Division as a "Light" SD39--a power source intended for locations with weight limits; apparently the only customer for these units was the Milwaukee Road. When the Soo Line absorbed the Milwaukee, they "blackbearded" this one, then passed it to WC when the Lake States Division was spun off. Apparently this loco and its kindern had the same numbers on all three roads.
While the long railroad bridge between the Saults was an engineering marvel when it was constructed in 1887, when WC was formed it was a century old. An ideal use for this (relatively) lightweight loco.
Told you before: I'm a reformed railfan. It's an addiction. Like all addictions, there's always some danger of a relapse.
