Nostalgia & History > F Unit Friday: Matched CNW SetDate: 07/31/20 16:44 F Unit Friday: Matched CNW Set Author: BNSF-6432 While traveling by way of the MILW, Frank Tribbey snapped off a shot of a CNW freight powered by an ABA set of F7's. The train is noted to be southbound, but no noted location.

The Milwaukee Road had no tracks near the C&NW in that area. Date: 08/01/20 08:20 Re: F Unit Friday: Matched CNW Set Author: bbaker Definitely a nice shot to see ABA freight F's. The location is Chase on the south side of Milwaukee. At one time, the North Western had a large roundhouse and yard there. The shot is probably taken from the North Shore ROW (in 1962 it was still operating). Yes- the Milwaukeee crosses and can been seen in the background. Today this view would show I-94, but trees would probably obscure the view.
