Filmed 8/3/14 @ 1:02pm I never thought I'd see this unit down in this area, so it gives me a small amount of hope that the only other unpatched CNW unit (#8701) will come though sometime in the future. For those who don't know, 8646 and 8701 are the only two unpatched and unmarked CNW units left on the UP system. Everything else that once belonged to the CNW has been repainted, retired, sold off, or patched. The 8646 and 8701 are referred to as the "Twins" and normally stay up North in the Chicago and "Twin Cities" area. So seeing them split up and one here in Missouri (8701 made it's way all the way out to New York no less), is an opportunity I didn't want to miss out on. Chris let me know it was coming, then met up in Eton and filmed it there. Turns out I picked the wrong side of the tracks to be on as a BNSF train passed by on the other side. To see that, go have a look at Chris' video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yez9HvrLV-o Again, I have to apologize for the lack of club videos lately, I just haven't been running trains much at all over the past month or two. Been working on a project that has been taking up most of my time there. When it's done (and it is nearing completion) I will certainly upload a video of it. I do have a handful of run-bys from other club members and will be working on that video this week. Thanks again for watching everyone! ---------------------------- Chris' Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/844Train Shane's Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thebrakeman17 ---------------------------- My Stuff: facebook (Railfan Jason) - https://www.facebook.com/JasonRS.UP9229 deviantART (UP9229) - http://up9229.deviantart.com/ Train club account: - http://www.youtube.com/user/EJCMRailroadClub/featured EJCM website: - http://easternjacksoncountymainliners.com/ Yahoo group: - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Freelanced_Model_Railroads/
