Tied Down Northbound Manifest
Title:  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
Title:  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 .

UP Yard Job Train - CNW 8701 and CNW 8646 The Last 2 CNW Locomotives
Title:  UP Yard Job Train - CNW 8701 and CNW 8646 The Last 2 CNW Locomotives
Description:  Here are the Final Two, CNW 8701 and 8646 and the look great. This is one of the best schemes worn by a Dash-9. I found them switching in UP Belvidere Yard coupled onto a cut of cars after they came in on UP Train ABEBE 02 at 06:19 this morning. I talked to the UP MYO on duty and asked for permission to take a few shots. I ended up with pictures and a Chicago Service Unit Cap.

Description:  Bound for NS Avondale Yard in North Kansas City is UP Train AOKNSR 03 with CNW 8646 on the point coming by West Yard. The lighting and tree colors almost suggest that this is early fall, but it's a cloudy, muggy summer morning, and the foliage color is a testament to the extreme drought conditions.

The unit has been undergoing maintenance work since March 31, 2006 here in North Little Rock. At the time it was still unclear whether or not she will emerge as a CNW, a Patched CNW, or Fully Painted UP Unit. A few days later, she emerged with touched up CNW paint.

Northbound UP Manifest Train
Title:  Northbound UP Manifest Train
Description:  Rocketing out of Idalia after a crew change at North Dexter is CNW 8701, one of the Last 2 CNW's on the point of UP Train QNLCH 10, which left North Little Rock, AR the night before at 23:23.

The 8701 had been in UP's Jenks Shops at North Little Rock, AR since 3-31-06 and spent over 2 months there for maintenance. At the time it was feared that this engine was being repainted or renumbered, when in actuality the engine was not modified from its CNW appearance, other than the shop forces TOUCHED UP the green along the hood and the yellow Scotchlite.

I figured I'd post a couple of the other remaining CNW unit, since its sister, 8646 has been hanging around my general area for a while now.

Title:  Northbound Manifest With CNW 8706 C44-9W Leading
Description:  Even back when I didn't have to drive 8 hours to see a CNW, it was still nice to see them roll through occasionally. This was one of the last 10 operating CNW C44-9W's on the UP System and one of the last 14 at the time. Almost everything on this one was original, even the numberboards! Now, on 9-17-06, there are just 2 active CNW's, and both Dash-9's, CNW 8646 and 8701.
