Just loving your C&NW posts because of the amazing variety.  The Cheap & Never Wasted had an incredible hodgepodge of equipment.  Thanks for sharing the images.

The KCS NW2 1102 seen in the first photo went on to become CNW 1008 and they got a lot of use out of her as she survived on their roster into the 80's.   I wonder who took over more second hand power between ICG and CNW?    Both took hundreds of cast off units in the 70's and 80's.
