Are the other two units un-patched C&NW as well? If so, SWEET!

Yes, they are un-patched.

This is why those engines were being held in captive service on the Belvidere-Proviso train for the last month. This is the long awaited Barnstorm tour of the CNW with this heritage engine and the last two unpatched CNW engines. Get your pictures now, as once the tour is over, they surely will have a date with the paint shop to at least get patched, if not fully repainted.

Who arranged for the unpatched CNW engines to accompany the 1995? Somebody back in Omaha?

I wonder if the same thing can be done for the SP unit.

It's westbound run will go over the Iowa Interstate from Des Moines because of track work in CB this week.

Nice photo, how many other fans were up on the bridge besides you?

the person in charge of motive power in Chicago, started out on the CNW

Not to sound dumb but does the MPRCB stand for Manifest Proviso to Council Bluff?

There are no dumb questions. :) And the answer to your question is yes.
