CESX 1951 and WGNS 862 |
| Description: |
WGNS 862 or WGN 862 and CESX 1951 parked on former C&NW rails along Hwy. 53 at Town of Trego, Washburn Co., WI on 23 Jun. '16. Most recently, CESX 1951 was used for the Columbia Star Dinner Train in MO since Feb. '11. Built by EMD in Jan. '53 as GN 464A. It was renumbered as BN 684 in '70. It became SNCT 102 in '81. It became IANR 102 in '84. It became SNC 102 and used for a dinner train in IA ca. '93. It became GTDT 1950 in '96. The SW1 is stenciled as "WGN 862" but I haven’t seen WGN on any lists of reporting marks, WGNS appears on some lists, WGNX appears on a few. Trego was originally Superior Junction, it was renamed Mills on 2 Feb. '04, and assumed its current moniker on 6 Apr. '06. Not too bad for a surprise "spray-and-pray" shot from the passenger seat at 70 mph. |
