CNW DS4-4-1000m 99, Council Bluffs, IA rs
A rebuilt Baldwin switcher, the 99, rolls past us on the outskirts of Council Bluffs back on July 27, 1976. Built in 1949 for the Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha, this old DS4-4-1000 became a Northwestern property in 1957 when the railroad came under the control of the CNW. The 99 was given an EMD 657 prime mover in 1960 and lived until 1979 when it was stored and stripped for parts, finally meeting its demise in 1980, being scrapped in Oelwein.
