Chicago Great Western Baldwins

Baldwin built this switcher in July of 1949 as Chicago Great Western DS44-1000 #36 (serial #74227). After the CGW/CNW merger in 1968, it was relettered CNW #36. Shortly after that, the loco was retired in January of 1969. Specs - 6 cylinder 606SC turbocharged prime mover, 1000 horsepower, B-B wheel arrangement, Westinghouse 362-D, traction motors and tractive effort of 57,500 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo which is now part of my collection.
