Eastbound Train No. 2 crosses over the bridge in front of the Lake
Arbutus Dam at Hatfield, Wis.
The lead unit in this 1984 photo is one of the three ex-C&NW Alco
RS-27's (#316-318) and the trailing unit is one of the rebuilt
"Hornell locos" (#319-322) -- which were early production
C-424's owned by predecessors to Conrail and later rebuilt by GE in
Hornell, NY before being sold to the GBW in 1980.
It's twelve years after the fall of the Burlington Route, but the
first car in the train today is a CB&Q boxcar.
