CNW 8704 west in Northlake, Illinois on March 14, 1995. by Eric Via Flickr: “WKJRX with a pair of fairly new C44-9W's (8704,8717) passes Grand Avenue on the very north side of Proviso. This hopper train is crossing over from 2-1 (New Line sub) and will traverse down 30-main to HM then head west on Geneva sub. No one bothered me up here, now forget it!! The CNW style searchlight and station sign are long gone as are the CNW dash 9's. The AWFUL take over by Union Pacific was about one month away.”
