C. Vision’s cameras capture the last active Chicago & North Western locomotives in service during the mid 2000s. We’ll follow the “triplets” CNW 8575, CNW 8646, and CNW 8701, as well as various SD40-2 locomotives, both in C&NW and Union Pacific paint, as they power freight trains across UP’s Altoona and Mankato Subdivisions. CNW 6858 is captured in Lake Elmo, Minnesota shortly before being patched and renumbered in 2003. If you’re a fan of the Chicago & North Western, jointed rail, or just Midwest railroading, you’ll love this video. This footage is from our program “Trains Across The Midwest, Volume 4”.
