C&NW 8646 & 8701 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific has used this set of former C&NW locomotives on a daily train from Proviso to West Chicago for most of the last year, usually in the morning. On this day the train ran later in the day. The better sun position than and the new snow made for a nice winter shot in downtown West Chicago. |
