Built as N&W 1106 October 1965 (c/n 3429-07), it became surplus to the N&W in 1973. The C&NW leased six of the 30 N&W units in 1973, later purchasing the entire N&W fleet of C628's. This locomotive waq retired October 2, 1990.

You can see the C&NW number (8805) on the hood through the patch. The only patched CNW AC4400CW with an unpatched nose sits at KCS Knoche Yard as a DPU on a coal load.

The unit is the first unit out of the 35 locomotive order for CNW that has been retired/scrapped. This scrapping occurred around two weeks ago and the 6707 was the first unit to meet its demise.

There are four patched C44-9W still on the UP roster, one of which recently moved to Wabtec for a rebuild, but they have been stored out of service for at least 5 years now. Earlier this month I caught this UP southbound at Salt Creek along the Salton Sea.
