C&NW 8646 East - the Chicago and NorthWestern "Twins" on 4-20-2014

The two remaining C44-9W engines in Chicago and Northwestern paint run the MCLPR-19 train toward Chicago on the Union Pacific's Geneva subdivision. This pair had been working around Chicago's Proviso Yard for the last few months. Then the local railfandom was abuzz when they were suddenly sent to Clinton, Iowa. On the return journey, they were held up at Nelson overnight. Which gave me the opportunity for this Easter morning catch. About 15 months prior I caught this duo leading an autorack train near sunset at the same location.    • C&NW 8646 East and C&NW 8701 by Meredith, ...   Photo: https://flic.kr/p/niEovi
