The CNW Bi-level commuter train, pulled by CNW #411, runs at the Illinois Railway Museum on 10/06/07. Near the end of the video, you get to see a rare treat: Union Pacific C40-8's #9052 and #9033 running light on the old C&NW line.

Three former CNW SD40-2s pull manifest traffic west through Rochelle, IL on 11/4/07.

That's right folks! MoPac heritage UP 1982 led the MPRCB on November 23rd(Thanksgiving) with CNW 8646 trailing. The video is from when I paced them along Route 30 between Wheatland, IA and Clarence,IA.

The CNW 6930, the last CNW SD40-2 to survive a patch job leads the MPBDA into Fordyce, AR for a meet. The nose bell is clanging and he's in run 8. It was a great show. The train was 10,000 tons and 6850 feet.

UP 1995 (CNW Heritage) and CNW 8646 and 8701 on train MPRCB. This train stopped right in front of the railroad park for about 10 min! What a nice treat that was! For more current photos, news, etc. for the Illinois and Iowa areas visit our message board @ www.illinoisiowarailfan.freeforums.org.

Northbound CNW frieght in Menominee, MI. Only one unit SD-40-2 #6830 on this train that day. The pulp logs are from Badger Paper in Peshtigo, WI that were sold to Mead in Escanaba when Badger closed their pulp mill. The wig-wag crossing was on 26th Ave in Menominee

East bound CNW 8682 pass a train in the siding at Colfax, and cranks it up as the other crew makes an inspection. The next scene is at Towle, on its way up to Donner Pass.

CNW 8646 leads the MPRCB along with UP 1995 on 101107. Seen departing the Clinton yard office after a crew change along with another westbound manifest.

Two UP C44-9W's are in charge of a intermodal train today. Second in the consist is the CNW 8603. The unit has been tagged, but it still looks good.
