CNW SD45 #6523 - Chicago & North Western |
| Description: |
Built by EMD in January of 1968 as Pennsylvania SD45 #6197, it slid through the PC and CR rosters before landing on the CNW one. Known for 20-cylinder prime movers (645E3), which sometimes suffered from crankshaft failure due to block flexing. After service on the CNW, the locomotive was sold to VMV Enterprises (Paducah, Kentucky) and later entered the leasing fleet of Helm Financial (HLCX) as unit #6501. No photographer was listed for the photo which is now in my rr collection. |
