    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.
