How many miles?
The SD40-2s served the C&NW well all over their railroad from their purchase on into Union Pacific ownership. I certainly saw a lot of them. The 6847 retains its original "stagecoach yellow", the attendant nicks and rust are just how the units that hadn't cycled through the paint shop looked in the last years of the C&NW. Pulling past the signal and through the switches it gains speed with its first coach train trip of the day. August 10, 2024.
