When I was growing up in the city of Chicago Illinois during the 1960's, 70's and 80's eras, I fondly remember the Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad.

I could remember their spartan and utilitarian yellow and green color scheme on their diesel locomotives and cabooses. Originally, they used a darker shade of yellow, but at some point in the early 1980's...began experimenting with a highly visible but rather ugly Lime of yellow /green color scheme. Eventually before the Union Pacific bought them out through merger during the 1990's, they began utilizing the older darker shade of yellow, as it had weathered much better and was more attractive.

This photograph of Chicago & NorthWestern Railroad EMD model GP 38-2 roadswitcher locomotive # 4707, was taken by fellow railfan photographer  Rick Bames on location at Council Bluffs Iowa, on the date of September 3rd, 1993.
