Here is a shot of CNW 8701... , There are about 20 CNW C44-9W's left I was suprised to catch this one.
Harold, Nice shots , gotta love them CNW lightning bolts I was very lucky... I thought UP already patched it but then I looked closer and it was still mark ed for CNW , I was pumped with laughter and joy and yelled "Helll yeaah" all the guys at the yard were looking at me like whats goin on LOL.
You are indeed lucky to catch that! Don't they look great? It will be a pity when they are all repainted, get 'em while you can!
I feel left out I don't get any CNW units around here. (I did see 2 UP and 1 SSW unit on the CSX at Hamlet today) Yes, the lightning bolt is sharp! Harold
These Newer Types C&NW units are ok, But Have you seen any of these units around lately, Go to my Picture site "Still working on this one" http://landstrains.homestead.com/RailFanpictures.html and I have two C&NW - UP owned units still untouched as of earlyer this year, there not there now so maybe getting repaint, don't know. larry Doub

5517 it is (was) I don't keep up onthat sort of stuff, Must have pulled these out shrtly after I got the pictures, these are right out of my Aunts back yard about a property and a half, 150 feet or so. This is were the UP runs the cuts out of Cargil in Eddyville IA, seen these units for a long time aroung here, Just got shots of Southern Pacific GP40-2 7945 a last weekend, bet it will be renumbered as soon as 4707 get back. I have seen SDs here before but that was before I started to Must take camera everywhere rule.
