WC 1559 and WC 1558
Title:  WC 1559 and WC 1558
Description:  A pair of sequentially numbered cows, WC 1559 and WC 1558, rest at the CN, former SOO, yard at Stevens Point, WI on 19 May '15. WC 1559's paint job looks pretty darn fresh, the setting sun shining on the bright red paint really made it really stand out. Another pair of WC cows stand a couple of hundred feet out of frame to the left.
