Most were standard, but some were modified and some were transfer cabooses. They were painted red at that time, though some were a darker red in the past. They were often numbered in the 1.

Do you have any information? Both built new for the CSt. PM& O and the M& St. L. I think that the unit was white/orange. Is this true? If so, when was the station eliminated as a stop? When was it demolished? Bill. A: There was indeed a station at Dempster St. We don't have the date of the discontinuance, if my memory is correct. Joe.

He performed an operational test with the C& NW railroad in 1. Mars Lights began appearing on locomotives in the 1. Joe. Q: In looking at pictures on the web of early (pre- heavyweight) C& NW passenger cars, I see that some of them are lettered . THE NORTH WESTERN LINE. Are these differences based on what time period the photos were taken, or are they based on different trains/regions, or? The Company had Standard fonts and Standard paints, for example. So the early runs were on the Challenger trains, which had the matching colors. Those matching streamlined cars were considered joint, but the UP had the money. Joe.

If not, could you inform me who might have this information? The C& NW owned this. Scott. A: The date is 0. Welcome, MN is not included in that abandonment, as far as I could tell. We would like to know more about our building and its agents. Our Depot was closed in 1. Chicago Northwestern, of course. The depot was purchased by the Historical Society of Plainview and is now a museum. Our rail history is sketchy and we would like very much to feature this part of the Depot history. Our Depot had an agent in residence on the premises continuously from 1. Then they made maps (we don't have most of the NE maps, unfortunately) or made up books. One copy stayed with the RR (supposedly) and the other copy is now in the National Archives (supposedly). Section: The Gov't number for that railroad's line in that state. Joe. Q: I would like information on a the Onawa, Iowa CNW rail yard and related routes passing through that yard during the period 1. Are there maps/drawings available of the rail yard lay out? I was unable to uncover a schedule. I'd like to know how long the train took to go from Drummond to Lake Owen (called Long Lake in the earliest years of the railroad), and Lake Owen to Spooner.

If you have any photos (or information) tagged Long Lake or Lake Owen, I'm very keen to hearthe details, along with information on buying the print rights.

Q: I would like to model the now- abandoned C& NW line that ran from Wausau, WI to Marshfield, WI.

Any information you could give me about it would be appreciated, especially photos from the 7. I am particulary interested in the motive power and freight shipped along this line. Patrick. A: The general answer is that medium- sized diesels and freight cars would have been used then, but we don't have lists of consists from that era for the most part.

For history, please see the summary on our site and let me know if you need more. I am not sure how far the RPO went, but the observation cars were apparently taken off in Minneapolis. I have not had any luck finding a yard plat or track diagram of the tracks under the building. Depot was on the site you are interested in and it took all of the passenger trains before the new Terminal was built in 1. That meant that all of the trains had to cross the river on a narrow bridge, which was sometimes raised, and that was not a good situation. Part of this research yielded that the the C& NW was the second railroad to own the line from Marshfield to Wausau, with the first being the Milwaukee, Lakeshore and Western Railway. The receipt is from Brillion, WI, and according to maps I've looked at only one railway appears to have passed through Brillion, and I have found pictures of Brillion labeled .
