Empire Junction 1986
Three big C&NW C628's are easing down to the LS&I connection near Empire Junction on October 18, 1986. The Alco era on the C&NW is near its end as the 4 axles were already retired as are a few of the 628's. By late December 1986 these three also will be replaced by SD50's and SD60's. 6701, 6727, 6706 roll empties toward Empire Mine. This is a rescan of a shot I posted a year or more ago. I didn't like how it came on then and decide to mess with it a little before I just put it on a thumb drive and gave up on it.
