 WWSL

When the OPLC created the WWSL for common service - the OPLC kept all the woods operations equipment and transferred all the non-woods rolling stock to the WWSL.

To support loads in interchange to foreign markets, the WWSL went to the used car market and purchased, thru equipment brokers, a new generation of flat cars, box cars, gondolas and hoppers to meet the myriad of online business opportunities that mandated its creation and operations.

As operational requirements (and finances) dictated the WWSL purchased new equipment when required and refurbished existing equipment at their home shops when feasible.
