Coming around the bend off the Elkhorn River crossing and into the home stretch to Fremont, I decided to let this patch go as the clouds overhead darkened.

A friendly wave from the conductor flies from one of a handful of CNW Dash 9 patches remaining. 9741 is the lone engine a coal empty westbound on the Blair Sub. Check out some of the interesting touches on this veteran; hand painted numberboards, and visors over the headlights... appears someone stole a headlight casting from an EMD and mounted it upside down.
It is unusual to see DC power on Union Pacific coal trains, much less General Electric DC power, and even much less CNW patches!
