CNW 4242, 4255 work west with local freight near McFarland. Often times in the late winter/early spring ore movements would slow while CNW and the mines made needed repairs. Also the stock pile at... (more)

The ten ex NYC/PC/CR that CNW bought in late 1979 worked for a year or so in road service out of Huron but were transferred along with the last of the Huron Alco's to Green Bay in early 1981. They... (more)

By 1981-82 the CNW was looking to get rid of the Baldwin/EMD 4 and 6 axle hybrids and moved the smaller Alco's that had called Huron, SD home to Green Bay-Escanaba. This was to put all the Alco's ... (more)
