Steven, the caption for the switcher states
The WC 1, an SW1 named in honor of Francis J. Wiener, now resides at the end of the line at the Camp 5 Logging Museum in Laona, Wisconsin.
So i'm guessing that it's still around.

I'm pretty sure that the ex ATSF F45s are still around, just in a musuem, until recently like the last 5 years they were retired, they used to be found all of the Upper Penisula.

I think the WC F45s were sold to leasing companies. The only WC engines saved at museums now are GP30 815, which was dontaed by WC to Green Bay, that SW1, SD45 7495 at Duluth, and SD45 7525 at the Illinois Railway Museum. Of those 4, 7525 is the only one in operating condition at this time.
