C&NW F7 401
Title:  C&NW F7 401
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway F7 401 in Chicago, Illinois on August 7, 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This train was a steam fan trip powered by N&W 4-8-4 number 611. There may have been some concern about the 4-8-4's ability to negatiate the pictured curve. I presume the diesels powered the train to a convenient location where the 4-8-4 could be added. The following is from the August 1983 issue of Trains Magazine Running Extra section:

August 6-7, 1983; Streamliner Overland 400 - 20th Century Railroad Club steam powered excursion using N&W J-class No. 611 will operate from North Western Station in Chicago to Sterling,Ill. and return each day via C&NW. Open window coaches, air-conditioned coaches, recording cars, open-sided car, souvenir/snack car, and photo run-by. First class section includes dome lounge cars, Pullman lounge, complete dining service, and C&NW business car 400. Coach tickets: $60 each, First class $120.

C&NW F7 401
Title:  C&NW F7 401
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway F7 401 in Chicago, Illinois on August 7, 1983, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a steam excursion powered by N&W 4-8-4 611. However, for some reason, diesels were used, at least on this part of the trip. I have photos of 611 at this same location the day before. The August 1983 issue of Trains Magazine shows the following under the Running Extra section: August 6-7, 1983: "Streamliner Overland 400". 20th Century Railroad Club steam-powered excursion using N&W J-class No. 611 with operate from North Western Station in Chicago to Sterling, Ill., and return each day via C&NW.
