Those WC FP45's looked cool but they were not very comfortable inside. Conductors hated them because there were no desks to do their paperwork on, and they frequently had to go through the front door when working a local. The nose door would frequently get "sticky" in Winter and posed a problem . Sometimes they were called "Polish covered wagons".

I can imagine. Most of the NS crews down here hated the old high hood GE Dash 7s.

A great compilation with just the right touch of editing. Well done!

That WC FP45 is a BEAUTIFUL machine! Is it still around?

[mbta1000]

It may be still around, but i'm not sure of it.

[Alek9997]

Yeah, I'm guessing NREX has it in their yard somewhere.

The WC 6652 was scrapped by Larry's Truck Electric in April 2005.
