Withers & Strack. Operating 8,000 miles of railroad in eight Midwestern states, Chicago & North Western has owned a diverse locomotive fleet - from Alco RSD-5s for lightweight branch lines in the Dakotas to GE's massive AC4400CWs capable of lugging coal trains out of Wyoming's Powder River Basin. Here, for the first time, is a complete unit-by-unit diesel roster from the beginning of dieselization in 1926 to the 1995 merger with Union Pacific. Included are locomotives from lines merged into the C&NW system and the hordes of secondhand locomotives purchased by the railroad for its rebuilding programs. 320 pgs., 475 B&W and 85 color photos, 8½"x 11", hdbd. #0R02675
