  Jimmy-
  I'm not exactly sure when the SD45's dis-
  appeared.  I can probably look at the 
  assignment book at the archives and give you
  an idea.  After N&W service, some were sold
  to Wisconsin Central and they'd occasionally
  get back to the N&W.

  Although I was assigned to the Mechanical
  Department, my mechanical knowledge was
  (and is) really limited.  I only gapped the spark
  plugs of the diesel engines coming off overhaul.
  My understanding is that the downfall of the
  SD45's came because their long crankshafts
  began to warp.
