C&NW SW8 801
Title:  C&NW SW8 801
Description:  C&NW SW8 801 at the 40th Street Shops in Chicago, Illinois on December 7, 1975, Kodachrome by J. H. Nixon, Chuck Zeiler collection. Note the red diagonal line painted through the ball and bar logo on the cab. According to utahrails.net, this locomotive was sold to Chrome Crankshaft Company, Chicago, Illinois on September 8, 1975 rebuilt to SW900M by the CRI&P at Silvis, Illinois, for Chrome; sold to Kaiser Steel as number 1029, Fontana, California, January 1977, now California Steel Industries, same location. It appears to have acquired a second exhaust stack during rebuilding, but the giveaway to the origin of Kaiser Steel 1029 is all the extra grab irons on the top of the hood.
