Title:
C&NW F7 403
Description:
Chicago & North Western railway F7 403 at about Halsted Street in Chicago, Illinois on May 25, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The power and business car had just cut off the Circus World Museum's train which had been brought to Chicago from Baraboo, Wisconsin. A C&NW NW2 switcher then coupled onto the rear of the train and set half off onto an adjacent track for unloading. The vintage circus wagons would be pulled down Michigan Avenue by horses during the Memorial Day parade.

Title:
C&NW F7 403
Description:
Chicago and North Western Railway F7 403 southbound at Jefferson Park on the north side of Chicago, Illinois on May 25, 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. On the day of this photo (or maybe the day before) the C&NW dispatched its Executive F's to Baraboo, Wisconsin to bring the Circus World Museum's vintage circus train and wagons to Chicago. Upon arrival in downtown Chicago, the wagons will be unloaded and horses will lead them down Michigan Avenue in a Memorial Day parade (I got pictures of that too). As I recall the situation, this train was slowly moving and I was chasing the train, so I stopped and grabbed a photo. The gentleman pictured was a local resident, who inquired what I was doing in his back yard. I explained the special train, and he came out to wave. The trailing units are 2nd 400 (already showing signs of the bow in its frame that ultimately sidelined it) and F7 402, coupled to the business car 400.

C&NW F7 403
Description:
A couple of folks came out to see Chicago and North Western Railway F7 403 leašhng the Circus World Museum's vintage circus train near Halsted Street in Chicago, Illinois on May 25, 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. The 2nd unit back is 2nd 400 which was replaced by another F7 (3rd 400) because oj a bent frame. First 400 was a former M&StL F3A 248A (c/n 4948) retired in 1963. Second 400 (pictured) was built as C&NW 4084C (c/n 8573), renumbered to 415 then to 400, retmred in 1985, replaced by third 400, built as C&NW 4100A (c/n 10588), renumbered to 425, then 400 in 1985.

Title:
C&NW F7 403
Description:
Chicago and North Western Railway F7 403 at Western Avenue in Chicago, Illinois on May 12, 1984, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Obviously a special train, I have no clue, I was expecting commuter trains. Please Comment if you have an idea what this train was. I'm guessing it was a Special that terminated, discharged its passengers, and is being dragged back to C&NW's coach yard between Western and Califonia Avenues.
