UP 6706, Omaha, NE
Union Pacific train ZLCG2 passes a stopped WB train in Omaha. The UP6706 is the last patched operating C&NW unit on UP's roster. The 30 year old units original paint is faded and the patch to cover the number on the right side of the carbody is worn off so the original C&NW 8804 number is now visible again on this AC44CW. An interesting comparison to the freshly outshopped GE rebuild on the left, which happens to be originally C&NW 8718, a C44-9W now rebuilt as an AC4400CWM.
