C&NW BU4         
Chicago and North Western Railway BU4 at Proviso Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number BU4 was built in October 1949 as C&NW TR2B 2000B (c/n 10023) on EMD Order E1305, was rebuilt December 15, 1961 to Yard Slug BU4, and mated with TR2A 2000A. It was retired May 1, 1980, sold to the KCS becoming KCS 4079. Note the interesting mix of trucks, one is likely in the shop. This appears to be the track the C&NW stored locomotives on temporarily.

Alan Fricker General Chuck: You are correct about the track-it was one of a couple of places over the years where they would hold or store locos while waiting for parts or repairs to scheduled. 3/23/2013 5:26:15 PM
