UP CA-9 25646         
UP CA-9 25646 and CA-3 25012 westbound on the C&NW at Rochelle, Illinois on June 24, 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number 25646 was built in May 1967 and retired December 5, 1989. It displays the slogan, "Safety Reigns On Our Train". Number 25012 was built in May 1942 as CA-3 3712, renumbered to 25012 in February 1959, wrecked at Sterlington, Louisiana and retired November 16, 1989. It displays the slogan, "Please, Let's Don't Meet By Accident". I can only assume that they were either on a special assignment or there were a lot more eastbound UP trains than there were westbound trains in this time frame.

Alan Fricker General Chuck, this was a fairly common sight on the CNW back in the day. I was living in DeKalb-about 15 miles east of Rochelle-and would see trains with multiple cabooses about once every 6-8 weeks or so. I suspect it may have been more common than that. The most cabooses I ever saw was 13-a mix of CNW, MoPac and UP, probably in 1985 or 1986. 6/8/2011 11:55:25 AM
