Chicago & North Western Diesel sounds – 1974 to 1995 An Audio Documentary.
In the 1970’s, many first generation diesels were still hard at work for the C&NW. As new locomotives replaced the diesels that replaced steam, a diverse roster existed. First and second generation diesels from Alco, Electro-Motive, Fairbanks-Morse and General Electric could be found on the C&NW system. Chicago & North Western DIESEL SOUNDS documents the sound of many different types of C&NW diesel power found in the yards and on the mainline of the railroad.
