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. |
