Clyde/GM WRE Class

The WREs are ex-QR 1720s, the Clyde GL18C branchline units built between 1966 and 1970. After a spell in storage, Watco bought three for its cattle trains and renumbered them as the WRE class, and they went to work in 2023. Two of them are WRE1723 and WRE1762; we haven't been able to pin down the third.
