Hello from Green Bay Wisconsin USA!! Go Packers of the N.F.L.!! Green Bay was the regional division point when the Southern section with the small country towns of Plymouth and Hilbert, interchanged with the Northern section going to Howard, Stiles Junction, Crivitz, then across the Michigan state border into the city of Iron Mountain, and the region of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with many mines for iron ore that was processed into Taconic pellets. Plus copper mines, and the giant forests if pine trees for lumber, and paper. However, when the Milwaukee Road system went bankrupt in 1977, they started selling many different tracks, but some were abandoned and ripped out and made into hiking trails like the Southern section. But until the 1960s this was the route of passenger trains like the Chippewa, and the Copper Country Limited, and frequently, the fans of the Packers football team, could ride South to Chicago and watch the football game against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Then the Milwaukee Road bought the E.M.D. Diesel SDL-39, and used them on the many branch lines with light weight rails with only 90 lbs.per yard,(,i.e.36"). Plus they were also used on the M.R. Mainline from Chicago to Milwaukee, WI., and St.Paul, Minnesota (MN.) But when the M.R. went bancrupt, in 1980 the Northern section was sold to the local area regional shortline, the Escanaba and Lake Superior RR, ELS RR., and they have successfully operated for the past 40 Years! But the M.R. was quickly shrinking. In 1986 they were sold to the Soo Line RR., which was called the "Soo Line/Lake States System". So on January 1, 1986, the SLLS stopped using the Southern section. And instead, switched over to the Green Bay and Western RR., that runs Westward through the towns of Oneida, Seymour, and Black Creek, then turning at the junction Southbound to Neenah, WI. Please notice. The names of the towns are from many different languages, because of the U.S. Indians, and British, and European, because of the immigration between 1800 to 1900 and beyond. Then because the GB&W RR had older lightweight rail, only the SDL39 could run on this old track. Because the new SD40-2 are much too heavy. This continued until 1993, when the new Wisconsin Central Limited (WCL) was started by Mr. EDWARD A. BURKART as the President, and his group of investors. They believed that there was still a future use for most of these old tracks, and they invested millions of dollars, in u.s. government grants and loans, to rebuild the tracks with new wooden crossties, and areas of welded ribbon rail. They also acquired many older diesels of the EMD SD45 class from several other railroads like the Burlington Northern (B.N.). Then the city of Fonddulac, WI., and the original Soo Line repair shops became the primary repair shop. When the WCL bought enough SD45 units, plus others like shorter GP40's, then the older SDL39 diesels were retired, then sold to your country. This is very exciting to know that the SDL39 diesels that used to run in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan in the snow storms, and blizzards during the freezing winters, are now running safely in the Sunny Southern Hemisphere!! Congratulations!! I also have photographs of the SDL39 diesels painted in the original M.R. colors of orange and black. Then the WCL colors of the Maroon body with gold-tone band through the middle. I also want to know what are the new Numbers of these diesels; for example, the 583, 584, and 587. Thank you for answering these questions. May GOD Bless you All+++!!! Amen!!!

@@benjvrv correccion 😬😬😬😬 Era las 581 a 590. Osea 10 SDL39 en total Aquí redactaré la historia de la SDL39 Locomotora SDL39 fabricados por General Motors Electro Motive Division (primera unidad en 1969 y la segunda en 1972). Su motor es de una SD39 de 2300 hp (por eso es diesel tipo 23 tambien) pero su estructura es mas de una GP38. Se construyeron originalmente para la extinta compañia The Milwaukee Road para reemplazar locomotoras de patio ALCO RSC-2. Como la compañia mencionada se fué a la quiebra en el 80, Soo Line adquirió parte de MILW, pero la 581 se accidentó en el 83 y en el 84 se fué a chatarra parece. Soo Line vendió las SDL39 a Wisconsin Central, pero como WC (la incial xdd) fusionó con Canadian National, se regresaron a Soo Line y vendieron al final las 9 locomotoras a Fepasa ;)
