Chicago area railfans, or anyone who has info about the three remaining unpatched C&NW units..

Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 27, 2006 9:48 PM

Hello....

As most of you know, I am an avid railfan. I love to railfan the UP in Elmhurst Illinois. I understand that there are three unpatched Chiacgo and Northwestern locomotives still on the prowl, and come through Elmhurst pretty often.

Anyone know when they will be in the Chicago are, I would love to see them!

Thanks[:D]

I have noticed that those three CNW units (The Three Amigos) tend to like to head from the Proviso Terminal area, up to the Twin Cities.

Hang around Elmhurst tomorrow afternoon and listen for MCBPR.
