A patched Chicago Northwestern AC4400CW actually has some of its patchwork wearing off. You can pretty clearly see that this was once CNW 8819. This is one of 35 such units that Chicago Northwestern got right before becoming a part of Union Pacific. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

With the recent need for power, Class 1 railroads seem to be sharing more power among themselves. This SD75I is one of 172 such units on Canadian National's roster.

A Great Western crew brought the train to this point (it was interchanged from the Great Western). A BNSF crews has been called out of Cheyenne and was enroute at the time of this picture. Upon arrival, the crew would untie the train and take it to Denver. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Internally this unit is simply a GE C40-8. Since it has the cowl body, it is designated as a C40-8M. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

These units are really starting to look beat up as their paint schemes are getting close to being 20 years old. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Chicago North Western was interested in helping finance the operation, but didn't have the money (Union Pacific would end up helping instead). Interesting now to see a (patched) CNW AC4400CW leading a westbound (geographic northbound) coal empty on Main 3 some 32 years later.

This AC4400CW was CNW 8829 up until June 2004 when it received its patch. Considering it has been 14 years since the UP/CNW merger, I'd say this unit is looking pretty darn good!

This is an SD70I, which is like the SD70M, but with an EMD WhisperCab. Only 26 units were produced and all went to Canadian National. Not a bad catch for the middle of Colorado!
