Description

Soooo... there I was in the spring of 1968 in Chicago hanging around Dearborn Street Station taking pictures of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois (among other roads). Next thing I know I drive 2,000 miles out to Spokane, Washington to take pictures of the Great Northern (among other roads)... with the C&EI in the background.

This is a NW2 built in 1949 recently repainted in Big Sky Blue!

BTW... the Great Northern Empire roster used to say this unit was not painted in this scheme.

The confusion of the paint may be that BN 152 was still in simplified green and orange. But GN 152 was not renumbered to BN 152. BN 152 was an SW9 that was GN 20, still in green and orange. The Big Sky Blue GN 152 was renumbered to BN 489.
