Chicago & Northwestern (CNW) 6801 - EMD SD40-2

Here is another view of CNW SD40-2 #6801 and #6847 rolling through what appears to be a flat Illinois farmland scene. No exact date, location or photographer was given for the photo from an original color negative.

Rolling through the flat farmland, presumedly Illinois countryside, was CNW SD40-2. Built by EMD in 8/1973, the loco was absorbed into the UP roster and became UP 2965. No exact date, location or photographer was given for the photo from an original color negative.

Date is approximate.

Chicago & North Western Railway SD40-2 6801 at Rochelle, Illinois on June 24, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I was running to get the shot and didn't make it, but the child did.
