Saturday, July 12. 20142014 Diesel Days, July 19th and 20th
This years Diesel Days brings three new locomotives to the event (Union Pacific 1848, Chicago & North Western 1689, and Wisconsin & Southern 102) as well as five E-units, seven operating 4-stroke locomotives, and a total of 24 running locomotives in the Parade of Power!
We'll kick off each day at 10:30am with normal operations, the coach train pulled by BN1 and BN2; the Nebraska Zephyr pulled by CBQ 9911A; and the CNW bilevels pulled by BN3. Later in the day we may have a few freight train run-bys. We will change the power on the coach train after the parade. The locomotives used for the operations schedule is very much in flux at the moment. The Parade of Power will begin around 1:00pm-1:30pm each day and will include the equipment listed below. The exact lineup is still to be determined.  CNW 4160 and IT1605 Equipment is as follows (subject to mechanical condition): United States Army 8537 (45Ton) Commonwealth Edison 15 (SW1) Burlington Northern 5383 (U30C) Burlington Northern 1 (F9A), 2 (F9B) Burlington Northern 3 (E9Am) CNW Bilevels Burlington Northern 9908 (E9Am) Wisconsin & Southern 102 (E9B) Milwaukee Road 37A (E9A) Milwaukee Road 760 (H10-44) Milwaukee Road 118C (F7A) Nekoosa Paper 14 (S1) Minnesota Transfer 200 (RS3) Green Bay Western 2407 (RSD15) Chicago Burlington & Quincy 504 (SD24) Chicago Burlington & Quincy 9255 (SW7) Chicago Burlington & Quincy 9911A (E5A) Nebraska Zephyr Illinois Terminal 1605 (GP7) Southern Pacific 1518 (SD7) Union Pacific 1848 (B40-8) Wisconsin Central 7525 (SD45) Chicago & North Western 6847 (SD40-2) Chicago & North Western 4160 (GP7R) Chicago & North Western 411 (F7A) Chicago & North Western 1689 (RSD5) We'll keep the usual disclaimer of All equipment and schedules subject to change without notice.
