Title:
Northbound UP Manifest Train With CNW 6930 and SSW 9652
Description:
A lashup made up of Operation Lifesaver CNW 6930 SD40-2 and SSW 9652 GP60 move UP Train MNLPR 23 through the Bluff. CNW 6930 was wrecked a year later and scrapped, sadly. Cotton Belt 9652 lives and soldiers on unpatched. The 6930 would be one of the 5 CNW's I would photograph in revenue service. The sad part is that it rolled over and was destroyed in a UP derailment at Des Plaines, Illinois on 10-21-02 and was later cut up for scrap at Proviso, IL during December 2002. I guess it would rather meet the torch rather than a UP Patch. Thanks to IKE for photo restoration help.
