CNW AC44CW #8821 - Chicago & North Western
Title:  CNW AC44CW #8821 - Chicago & North Western
Description:  This solid looking loco was built by GE in the Erie, PA plant in November of 1994 as Chicago & North Western AC44CW #8821. It entered service in the iconic C&NW "Traditional Yellow" and black paint scheme. These units were primarily used for heavy coal drag service out of the Powder River Basin due to their superior AC traction performance on steep grades. Shortly after delivery, the C&NW was acquired by Union Pacific in 1995 and the loco was renumbered UP 6727. Like many of its sister units, it likely spent years in a "patched" state (C&NW paint with a UP shield or number) before eventually being repainted into Union Pacific's "Building America" livery. No photographer was listed for this photo which is now in my rr collection.
