Album Info:My Uncle and I left early on Wednesday morning, the 20th of Aug, to find the three ex Wisconsin Central SD45's that are on the DMVW. We had to head towards Oakes to find them, but found two in Hankinson by accident. So enjoy the photos of the rarely photographed brutes, and many other trains including the CP,BNSF, and RRVW.
