Vintage CNW streamliner at Des Plaines

This had to be 1985...I shot this in Park Ridge.

There should be a computer program or something to help restore the color so it's not green. That would help with identification.

vintage?

This looks like the CNW business trains that ran in the 80's. Pretty cool to see a video of these units in action. Unfortunately now theyre all out of service. I know some of these units were in the Cheyenne WY. yard for sale and another is in WI for sale but is totally destroyed. What a shame.

Damn, what train was this?

[xxmoviemakerxxx]

I don't know, maybe it was a railfan exhibition.

[ThePoopTrain]

It's quite an unusual train.

[Drewvinci]

@xxmoviemakerxxx Chicago and North Western Railroad.

[boazrg]

Looks like an excursion train.

Long live the CNW!

Lesie A-200

Don't they use these on boats as well? They sound like 'em.

I prefer a multi-note horn on trains but I have to admit that the Leslie sound is quite distinctive and grows on you after a bit.

[andybowe]

[Andrewsaxamophone]

Holy shit this is cool!!!

About 1984

[kmillard]

Can't be. Gotta be before May 1 of 1971.

[CNW4404]

@kmillard Nope, CNW operated F-units on their business trains into the 1980s.

[POL3INAROW]

@kmillard The parking garage in the back ground was not there in 1971. It was built some where around 1979. I mis those days of f units and bud cars!! Reminds me of going out to grandmas house in cary from that very station!!

[skinnyshit8888]

Where did you get this?

[xxmoviemakerxxx]

I videotaped it myself.
