FURX 5551
Title:  FURX 5551
Description:  HLCX 1070 (GP38-2), HLCX 3841 (GP38-2), HLCX 3885 (GP38-2) and FURX 5551 (GP38-2) sit in CNs Duck Creek Yard. A former CNW yard, I believe these units are staged here awaiting the opening day of Watcos Fox Valley and Lake Superior Rail System (FOXY) operations of two (among others in northeast and central Wisconsin) soon to be former CN branch lines. EDIT 01/30/2022: HLCX 3885 and FURX 5551 are actually assigned to the WATCO's Grand Elk Railroad's new Upper Peninsula Division and were here awaiting transport north.
