Nostalgia & History > Saturday Matinee Q Clyde yard power line CGW E-L ChicagoDate: 02/09/19 06:21 Saturday Matinee Q Clyde yard power line CGW E-L Chicago Author: KCRW287 Short clip from Chicago, looks most is before 1970. Sorry about the quality and my editing. I didn't know E-L had freight Alcos, and what rr had the 22 & 23.

The 22 and 23 eventually went to Penn Central and ran in their fleet.
Great video to share here and thank you for that. I sure wish the EL units would have traveled more broadly on the Burlington Northern system. They would have been ice to see in the mountains in the west but I don't think they made it past the Twin Cities.

EL bought 15 C424's in 1963 (2401-2415) and 12 C425's in 1964 (2452-2462).

Watching those CGW F units getting out of town on the B&OCT Altenheim Sub was worth the TO subscription.
I bet there are not many videos of that ! Date: 02/09/19 20:57 Re: Saturday Matinee Q Clyde yard power line CGW E-L Chicago Author: Quakerengr Fantastic. Thanks for the memories, also. I spent three four years hostling at Clyde myself, circa 1983-1987 on and off!!

Jeff Date: 02/14/19 12:24 Re: Saturday Matinee Q Clyde yard power line CGW E-L Chicago Author: KCRW287 I have another Chicago video for this Saturday the 16th, mostly passenger, and towards the end of private passenger trains.
