Tied Down Northbound Manifest |
| Description: |
This is train QNLCH2 20 (Manifest from North Little Rock, AR to Clearing, IL [Chicago]). It arrived at 00:25 (12:25 A.M.). Since it wasn't sitting in the north end of the yard, we were a little spooked, thinking the trace was messed up, but I spotted the dimmed headlight of this unit in the south end of the yard, near the industrial park. We really came after it for 1 of the Last 3 CNW's was in the consist! |

Former Mo-Pac SD40-2c |
| Description: |
What a treat! This is a former Mo-Pac SD40-2c, the "c" for coal. A few were built to BN specificatations for MP/UP/BN/D&RGW coal power pool. These were ballasted to up to 417,000 pounds for more tractive effort, had dynamic brakes, and were equipped with a MARS Light like Rio Grande units, and a rotating beacon like BN units. Otherwise they were MP features. It was built as 3219 before more coal service units were built. They were then renumbered into the 6000 series and more non-dynamic brake equipped units were built in the 3200 series. More photos of it as UP: http://www.trainweb.org/screamingeagle/other/j_glenewinkel/UP3903/UP3903.jpg , and as early GATX: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=16920 . Notice it lost its MARS Light when it was painted blue. More info on the SD40-2c's can be found at: http://www.trainweb.org/screamingeagle/loco_2gen_sd40-2c.html . |

CNW 8646 C44-9W One of the Last Three CNW's |
| Description: |
The only thing that could have made this better is if it would have been leading, but it was dead in tow! At the time there were 3 CNW's left, now we're down to 2. |
