That second unit is an ex-CNW Dash 9. You can tell from the nose mounted number boards.

Joshua, UP #6855 is a C44AC or AC4400CW. It is not a Dash-9, nor is it of C&NW heritage. Union Pacific ordered units with nose mounted number boards also. The Ex. C&NW AC4400's are in the 6700 series. Ex. C&NW Dash-9's are in the 9600-9800 series.

Thank you for the clarification. I know a former CNW employee who had informed me all of UP's wide cab units were Ex-CNW Dash 9's. I guess he was mistaken.
