C&NW F7 403
Chicago and North Western Railway F7 403 at Western Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on May 12, 1984, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Obviously a special train, I have no clue, I was expecting commuter trains. Please Comment if you have an idea what this train was. I'm guessing it was a Special that terminated, discharged its passengers, and is being dragged back to C&NW's coach yard between Western and Califonia Avenues.

Alan Fricker	General	Chuck, this might have been one of the railfan specials that were charted by one of the Chicago area groups. Back in that time period, the CNW would run those specials Chicago-DeKalb-Sterling or out to Clinton, Iowa. I was living in DeKalb at the time,and can remember one train like this-it ran as the "Kate Shelly 400". NKP 765 and N&W 611 came through on those trips, too, over the next couple of years.	9/8/2012 8:31:53 PM
