Wisconsin Central SDP45 6634. (Erie Lackawanna SDP45 3656)

With all the recent discussion about the WC SD45’s on this forum, I thought this would be a good place to ask about WC 6634.

Wisconsin Central 6634 is (or was) a SDP45, originally Erie Lackawanna 3656.

She was auctioned off by CP on July 11, 2002, and that seems to be the last anyone has seen her.

I have conflicting information on who bought her at that auction:
museum at Spooner? http://www.railfan.net/lists/erielack-digest/200207/msg00269.html
or Rail World Inc.? (AARX) (Ed Burkhardt) http://www.railfan.net/lists/erielack-digest/200207/msg00328.html

There was talk/rumour she might have been wanted for Ed Burkhardt’s Maine Montreal & Atlantic, but that clearly never came to pass. Instead she wound up at GE.

after GE, I have seen reports on-line that she was supposed to go to Indiana Harbor Belt, after rebuilding in Mexico.

Other reports says she may have been “quietly scrapped in Mexico”…but no one knows anything for certain…

anyone know where she is now?

is she still with us? (not scrapped I hope!)

I am trying to keep track of her for the Erie Lackawanna Survivors List:

Spooner MUSEUM get it!? LMAO!!!

If anybody in that area it would have been Greg Vreeland and the Wisconsin Great Northern. But they did not.

dont you know that ALL machines are female? [:D] [;)]

since the dawn of time…ships, cars, planes, trains…any machine is always considered female.

Throughout human history, builders of machines (usually men) have always ascribed Female traits to their machines and referred to them as feminine.

Because they they are beautiful, mysterious, we cant live without them, we obsess over them, they make our lives easier and better…but they can also be cantankerous, need much care and maintenance to keep them going, and can cause us much frustration and trouble! [}:)]

(thats the machines im referring to! yeah…thats it…the machines… [:-^] )
