WC 6634, formerly MKCX 9511, was built as EL 3656, an âSD45Mâ. It featured the long frame of the SDP45, but no steam generator; the extra space was used for a large 5000 gallon fuel tank so that the units could run greater distances before refueling. On the WC, the 6634 came wearing its coat of Helm dark blue, but this was exchanged for the attractive WC maroon and gold scheme, courtesy of the WSORâs Horicon, WI shops, in 1998. The unit was allegedly a bit of a shop queen, but was a popular target for area railfans due to its uniqueness. When the WC was sold to the CN in 2001, many locomotives were subsequently auctioned off, including the 6634. She was sold to Rail World on 7/11/02 for $17,050 with a bad-order turbo, and subsequently cut up for scrap- the final chapter in her storied 32-year career.
