Title:  CNW 4-8-4 #3024 - Chicago & North Western
Description:  On display at the 1934 World's Fair held in Chicago, this must have made a powerful impression from its massive size alone.

After serving as a model display here, it went into heavy usage, rebuilt several times and finally scrapped sometime between 1950-56. Warren W. McCleary Jr photo

Chicago & North Western 4-6-2 #1574
Title:  Chicago & North Western 4-6-2 #1574
Description:  Although a GP7 would carry the number later, this Alco Pacific had it first.

CNW 4-6-2 #2908 with a rare "Sky Spotlight" - Chicago & North Western
Title:  CNW 4-6-2 #2908 with a rare "Sky Spotlight" - Chicago & North Western
Description:  A much later 1923 E2a class Alco Pacific type loco when compared to #1574 listed earlier, this one carries the proud "Route of the 400" triangular sign on the front. It sported the 79" drivers and a solid 225 psi boiler pressure. Patrick McNamara (see comment below) identified the strange looking angling "canister" on the front above the faceplate as a sky light used to announce the arrival of the crack CNW premier passenger train. Thanks, Patrick, for the info. This is a unique feature I was totally unaware of until now!
