Chasing the last of the Ball n Bar
The last two CNW-painted units on the UP roster, 8646 & 8701, are slated for storage as excess power on the system. But, one last hurrah on the old CNW Adams sub finds the two paired out of Proviso on the Twin Cities manifest. Due to the orientation of the Adams line (NW), it is difficult to manage multiple shots of one train since UP layed welded rail over the subdivision. However, I manage to get a decent amount of photo opportunities as the train made its way past the farms and fields of southern Wisconsin and into Adams yard, where it did work before heading west at dusk.
