C&NW C628 6705 |
| Description: |
Chicago & North Western Railway Alco C628 6705 at Green Bay, Wisconsin, September 5, 1976, Kodachrome by J. H. Nixon, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built as Norfolk and Western 1104 (c/n 3429-05) October 1965, leased to C&NW on February 1, 1973, purchased by the C&NW on June 29, 1973, retired December 8, 1980, used for parts. The N&W's C628's were delivered to run long hood forward (the F for Front is still stencilled on the long hood end of the frame), and were equipped with dual controls. This required a larger cab, and the overall length of the N&W versions was six inches longer than standard production C628's. These were the only high short hood examples of the C628. |
