WRRS shorties still in service in 1992 on the CNW main at Arion, Iowa (roughly 6-7 miles SW of Denison)

Jump to the 3-minute mark of the video
In the background, is the current CN (ex IC/CC)
This was a big shock to me, because CNW eliminated all the Wags in Nevada, Colo, State Center, etc... in the mid-80's already and upgraded to Gates, even on a number of gravels that were crossbuck only before.
