An Unlikely Trio
This was C&NW Weekend at the Illinois Railway Museum, where all the C&NW locomotives on museum property were given a chance to run trains on the mainline. The museum also hosted the C&NW Historical Society as part of its annual convention, and Union Pacific even sent UP 1995 for display!
Here, the aforementioned 1995 is seen sandwiched between GP7 #1518 and SD50 #7009 as the IRM crews perform some after-closing switching duties. Only at IRM can one see a consist like this!
