Eastern veterans Two Chicago and North Western locomotive veterans that originated on eastern railroads sit at the Butler, Wisconsin, engine facility. EMD GP40 No. 5518 was originally New York Central/Penn Central/Conrail No. 3029, while Alco C628 No. 6719 toiled for Norfolk and Western. The Alco is freshly-painted in the then new “Zito yellow,” and strikes quite a pose in the bleak Wisconsin December gloom.
