Product Description
Chicago & Northwestern personality and color are still abundant on this high traffic former CNW, now Union Pacific route west out of Chicago. We'll see a wide variety of trains and motive power from GP-7s to the new SD-90MACs... and even Union Pacific 4-8-4 Northern-type steamer #844 in excursion service at several locations. Most power (not #844!) is still in CNW colors.
More than 50 trains! Locations include La Fox, Maple Park, DeKalb, Rochelle, Nelson, Fulton and Clinton. Volume 1 covers the former CNW Geneva Sub east of Geneva.
Midwest Video Productions was most active in the mid-to-late 1990s when mergers were happening and flags were falling at a fast clip. This video was shot using professional equipment of the time, but is not up to the clarity of today's high-definition video. It is however an excellent snapshot of an important time in the nation's railroad history.
