CLASSICS FROM BOONE AND CLINTON

On the east end of Boone, CNW 5500 and 4409 negotiate ex-FDDMS trackage now owned by the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad. Nowaday's, the BSV's #1098 usually gets the switching duty on this trackage. JC Photo.

CNW 6877 appears to have "picked the switch" at a turnout in Boone. Looks like she bent up the rail pretty good as well. Jason Chadourne photo.

Chicago and Northwestern AC4400 #8820 rounds the corner near the west end of Boone Yard. Jason Chadourne photo.

Another GE, this time Dash 9 #8681, is westbound at Boone Yard, followed by a "new" UP SD70, complete with 'wings.' Chadourne photo.

At Linn Street in Boone, UP officials are busy cleaning up after a very messy coal train derailment. Photo by Jason Chadourne

A westbound freight led by CNW 6903 had a foriegn Conrail unit in tow. This SD40-2 no longer appears in yellow and green today. Notice the lack of ditch lights. Jason Chadourne photo.

At Shamrock, this all-old Yellow consist was eastbound headed by CNW 6919, another unit that no longer exists today. The second unit is CNW 6847, which does. Jason Chadourne photo.

FROM CLINTON, IA

In this blast from the past, the Clinton, IA tower and CNW-BN depots can be seen as they existed in the 1970's. Also in view is the tower that protected the Fifth Street Interlocking. Chadourne collection.

CNW 6817 and 6917 lead a westbound freight through Clinton. White Classification lights indicate that this movement is an extra. Chadourne collection.

Three CNW units and two UP's haul an eastbound freight onto the legendary Mississippi River bridge at Clinton. Note the third unit, an original CNW SD45.
A yellow and green caboose brings this performance by the Chadournes to a close, as it disappears around the corner on this eastbound at Clinton.
