Chicago And Northwestern 853 At Chadron, NE - 11/87

  • Canon A1, 70-210mm f4.5, Kodachrome 64
  • The next few photographs are a series shot at and near Chadron, NE on the C&NW "Cowboy" line. In this photo, GP18 853 and sisters are putting together the daily eastbound freight in the Chadron yard. Today, the C&NW is but a memory and the "Cowboy" is all but dismantled, with only a portion of the line operated east of Chadron by the Nebkota railroad.
