WICT FP7A #96A - Wisconsin & Calumet RR |
| Description: |
This is quite a boomer loco having bounced from one railroad roster to another. Originally built as MILW FP7A #96A by EMD in January of 1951, it was sold to NRE at Dixmoor, IL around 1989. From roughly 1991 to 1999, it was Wisconsin & Calumet #96a seen here. After that, it moved over to the Wisconsin & Southern as their WSOR #71A with a new paint scheme. Finally sometime after 2005, it was sold to Escanaba and Lake Superior as ELS #600. An unknown photographer took this color slide. |

| Description: |
During the short 12 years that the Wisconsin & Calumet RR operated, several abandoned or rarely used former Milwaukee Road trackage was restored for passenger and freight service. Wisconsin and Southern RR purchased the WICT in 1992 but didn't fulled absorb it into their roster until 1997. This ex-MILW 96A was a star unit in the WICT system. |

NOt sure of the origins of this car - could not find a solid lead but it appears to be a business/lounge/sleeper car of some kind with an older style open vestibule. Please contact me if you have any info on this car. |
