Here’s the C&NW 8701 and 8646 on LPW14-20, Belvidere Sub., Elgin, IL on July 21, 2009. Photo submitted by Dave Hawley.		The C&NW is still alive at DeKalb, IL It’s there, right above the word Structures above the door to the old depot. Photo by Dave Hawley on 11/12/08.
C&NW 411, an EMD F-7A, at the Illinois Railway Museum with two C&NW bi-level coaches. Picture was taken on 08/30/07 by Dave Hawley.	Here’s the Butler Piggy Back Ramp Office in the 1970’s. Ted Lontkowski, who sent us this picture, worked a Yard Clerk’s job there for one day and said one day was enough! Gordy Geil, John Gaven and Caryl Braaten will remember this classic office. Thanks, Ted.
At Spooner, Wisconsin Dave Hawley found this C&NW F-7 (left) and a former C&NW way car (right).on October 8, 2008. Both are owned by the Wisconsin & Great Northern Railway - a tourist line operated by Greg Vreeland The F-unit is former Business Train unit 400 and plans for it are indefinite. It probably will not be restored as it is in tough shape, plus many parts have been taken from the 400 to restore the 423, parts that would be very difficult to replace. The way car formerly had a plywood interior that was set on fire by local vandals about 10 years ago and is presently for sale.
The Wisconsin & Great Northern also owns former Chicago & North Western F-7A 4076A; then C&NW 423 and finally New Jersey Transit 423. This unit was rebuilt by Wisconsin Great Northern during 2001 and is now fully operational. Photo courtesy of Charlie Kuehn.	Here’s C&NW Gallery Car 2 on the property of the Railroad Historical Museum of Springfield, Missouri. Thanks to Captain Wally Lindemann for making us aware of this picture.
