C&NW GP9R 4562
Title:  C&NW GP9R 4562
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway GP9R 4562 a little west of Harrison, Nebraska on an unknown day in July 1985, Kodachrome by Jim Altman, Chuck Zeiler collection. Jim noted on the slide mount that this was the Northwest Nebraska Centennial Train. It appears to be made up of ex-Rock Island coaches (a combine at the far end) and a C&NW business car. Number 4562 is flying an American flag on the Engineer's side and a Welcome flag on the other side. There appears to be a locomotive at the other end.

C&NW E8 5026A
Title:  C&NW E8 5026A
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway E8 5026A at about Kinzie Street in Chicago, Illinois on August 19, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I sure needed my street light filter this day. The first two cars (single level club cars, aka 'banker's cars') are privately owned by Commuter Associates, Inc. for their exclusive use. Club car service began on the C&NW's commuter lines on April 1, 1929 with a single heavyweight converted coach numbered 6700. As the coach wore out, it was replaced over time, but the replacements were assigned the number 6700. Eventually the service expanded and at its peak (around 1965) it consisted of four cars: 6700, 510, 553, and 555. The last three car numbers related to time; 510 was the historic departure time, 533 and 555 were the arrival times at Lake Forest and Lake Bluff respectively. As service declined, the service demanded less cars, but one remained in service as of the year 2009. Note also that the colors are changing on the equipment, and the club cars will eventually be repainted in RTA colors.

Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway SD9 6605 at about Roosevelt Road and the lake front (Soldier Field in backround), Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was on exhibit at a railroad trade show held at the site of the former IC Central Station, which had been torn down, but the platforms were still in place. I'm not sure why the C&NW was exhibiting this locomotive. Both EMD and GE exhibited their latest products, fresh off the assembly lines and polished up. There were also several railroad supply companies showing off their latest wares. The dynamic brake blister is plated over, signs of a shop modification.

C&NW SD38-2 6658
Title:  C&NW SD38-2 6658
Description:  C&NW SD38-2 6658 at Archer and Western Avenues (aka Brighton Park) in Chicago, Illinois on December 21, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in January 1975 (c/n 75618-9) it became UP 2814 and later UPY 814.

The C&NW acquired ten SD38-2's in January 1975 (road #'s 6850-6859, generally assigned to hump service at Proviso Yard near Chicago) out a production run of 83 units by EMD from 1972 to 1979. They were powered by an EMD 16-645E 16 cylinder normally-aspired (Roots blower) prime mover producing 2000 horsepower. It is seen here at the last manually contolled crossing in the City of Chicago. The first two tracks closest to my position belonged to the PRR/PC/CR railroads and the second two (including the rails under 6658) belonged to the B&OCT. The single track crossing those four is the former Chicago & Alton, later GM&O, by the date of this photo, the ICG. More information later as I find it out. Please leave a Comment if you know more about this location.

Mmmm, soup, also a good shot of the Campbell's Soup watertower.

C&NW C628 6705
Title:  C&NW C628 6705
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway Alco C628 6705 at Green Bay, Wisconsin, September 5, 1976, Kodachrome by J. H. Nixon, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built as Norfolk and Western 1104 (c/n 3429-05) October 1965, leased to C&NW on February 1, 1973, purchased by the C&NW on June 29, 1973, retired December 8, 1980, used for parts. The N&W's C628's were delivered to run long hood forward (the F for Front is still stencilled on the long hood end of the frame), and were equipped with dual controls. This required a larger cab, and the overall length of the N&W versions was six inches longer than standard production C628's. These were the only high short hood examples of the C628.

C&NW C628 6721
Title:  C&NW C628 6721
Description:  C&NW C628 6721, Escanaba, Michigan, July 19, 1985, photo by Gib Allbach, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as N&W 1120 April 1966 (c/n 3455-11), it was part of a second order for 20 C628's, numbered 1110-1129 (the first order of 10 units was numbered 1100-1109). At 204 tons, this order was the heaviest C628's built, and the N&W ordered the only high short hood versions. By 1973, the C628's were orphaned on the N&W by a large fleet of EMD's and GE's, and the C&NW bought all 30 from the N&W. They were assigned in the general service pool on the Twin Cities Division, and when the Fairbanks-Morse locomotives were retired in 1975, the Alco's were re-assigned to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They were retired in late 1986, replaced by SD50's, and this unit left the roster October 2, 1990.
