Was hoping for a better look at 6847 on my first trip to IRM, but it'll have to wait. |

CNW 6847 will trail CB&Q 504 as the replacement power on the "coach train" |
| Description: |
After only getting a distant shot of this locomotive's long hood end on my only prior visit to IRM in 2014, I wanted to make sure to get a good look at it this time. Growing up in Madison, WI in the 1990s, the C&NW SD40-2 would have been common power, but the only other one documented in my collection is a photo of 6886 when it led the 1994 Circus World Museum circus train. I'm glad UP donated one to be "de-patched." Its faded and weathered "old yellow" paint probably looks much the same as it did during its last decade or so of service on the "Cheap & Nothing Wasted." |

CNW 6847 behind CB&Q 504 coupled up to the Diesel Days "coach train" |
| Description: |
My wife and I would soon get on board and take the ride out and back on IRM's short stretch of preserved Elgin & Belvidere Electric trackage. This ended up being the only trip we had time for this day, as it was a cool day for mid-August and she needed to go to the car and warm up (despite having one of my hoodies!). |

Almost looks like it could be... |
| Description: |
...a power set found idling outside any yard office in towns across Illinois and Iowa in the 1980s. Just a few subtle clues give it away, like the ditch lights on 6847, missing rear numberboards on 7009 and the cab heralds that look too good for the rest of the paint. |
