Switcher Saturday - former CB&Q NW2
Author: run8diesel

A little over one year after the BN merger, we have a former Burlington Route NW2 (now BN #541) returning to Eola Yard after switching the Nabisco cereal plant.  Everything in this shot is old school - the switcher, a wooden way car with a bad case of the leans, and 40 ft boxcars.  Shot taken June 8 1971 from the EJ&E bridge at the east end of Eola Yard.
