Talk of Twins

Recent discussion around the railfan community of the two C&NW painted locomotives that had (until now) been "stored" at IRM in Union, IL got me to looking back through my archive.

 

Sure enough, on Sept 3 when I was there, it turns out I had snapped a few shots of them, including this one I shot while riding on the trolley loop.

 

I obviously had no idea at the time that they would be pulled from the museum or certainly I would have spent more time getting some detailed shots of them. Perhaps I should have anyways...
