CNW SD-40-2 6830 Menominee, MI

Northbound CNW frieght in Menominee, MI. Only one unit SD-40-2 #6830 on this train that day. The pulp logs are from Badger Paper in Peshtigo, WI that were sold to Mead in Escanaba when Badger closed their pulp mill. The wig-wag crossing was on 26th Ave in Menominee

@ctw100s The WC got rid of them pretty quick after they got the line.

What type of camera did you use here?

[smeg4903]

Shoulder mounted RCA CC407 VHS - It was a good camera for its day.
