C&NW C628 6721 |
| Description: |
C&NW C628 6721, Escanaba, Michigan, July 19, 1985, photo by Gib Allbach, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as N&W 1120 April 1966 (c/n 3455-11), it was part of a second order for 20 C628's, numbered 1110-1129 (the first order of 10 units was numbered 1100-1109). At 204 tons, this order was the heaviest C628's built, and the N&W ordered the only high short hood versions. By 1973, the C628's were orphaned on the N&W by a large fleet of EMD's and GE's, and the C&NW bought all 30 from the N&W. They were assigned in the general service pool on the Twin Cities Division, and when the Fairbanks-Morse locomotives were retired in 1975, the Alco's were re-assigned to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. They were retired in late 1986, replaced by SD50's, and this unit left the roster October 2, 1990. |

C&NW 10920 |
| Description: |
Chicago & North Western Railway caboose 10920 at Cotter, Arkansas on July 15, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. When The UP acquired the MP in 1982, the White River Division running between Carthage Missouri and Dias (Newport) Arkansas was part of the deal. It was rather hilly in the Ozarks and slow running, but hosted a daily unit coal train from Wyoming to the Independence Power Plant at Newark, Arkansas. Under MP management, the division was equipped with welded rail and defect detector apparatus. For a few years after the merger, the UP operated the division much as the MP had, but in the 1990's UP management had a change of heart and decided to run the unit coal down to Little Rock and back up to Dias, and over to the plant, a few hundred extra miles. This allowed the UP to sell the division to the newly-formed M&NA, but not before stripping out the detectors and as much welded rail as could be pulled up and replaced with jointed rail. The last UP train to leave Cotter was a rail train loaded with MP-installed welded rail. After several years hiatus, the unit coal train returned to the White River Division with UP run-through power. |

C&NW 12432 |
| Description: |
Chicago & North Western Railway caboose 12432 at Proviso, Illinois, sometime around April 1943, photograph by Jack Delano, image from the Library of Congress ( LoC ). While searching for other images, I came across this image and could not pass it up. It was also marked: No known restrictions on publication. There were many photographs of C&NW steam ( and other railroad subjects ) available at the LoC for free download in a variety of sizes and formats. I downloaded this image as a 90 meg .tiff format so I could clean up the dust and scratches. I recommend downloading these images before some budget cutback shuts this resource down. |

C&NW 263603 |
| Description: |
Chicago & North Western Railway Scale test Car 263603 at about North Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1982, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The car is stenciled: GR WT 80000 CALIBRATED 10-19-82 CLEARING, ILL. What little I know about this type of car; it is used to calibrate railroad car scales for weighing loaded cars which determines the bill the customer receives for moving the commodity. Although the car has brake shoes, it has no air brakes. This is to keep the weight within five pounds of the calibrated weight and air brakes would cause brake shoe wear, which would reduce the weight of the car. The hand brake would be used to apply the brake shoes to the wheels during the calibration process. Generally, the car would be positioned on the railroad (or customer's) scale and the scale would be calibrated according to federal regulations at least once per year. The car is specifically designed with a minimum cavities and protrusions so as not to collect water or dirt which could affect the calibrated weight. |
