C&NW 401
Title:  C&NW 401
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway 401 in Chicago, Illinois on May 19, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I marked the slide as 401, unfortunately, the car configuration does not match the C&NW 401 as it appeared in the 1980's. It's possible the car was rebuilt between 1966 and 1980, or perhaps the 401 was replaced with a second car numbered 401. I'm still researching. Here's what I found so far, on donrossgroup.net

C&NW 401 "Wyoming" was built by Pullman in November 1925, Lot 4923, as Pullman Co. "Monte Viso". It was rebuilt as "Capitol Road" and sold as C&NW 400, business car, in 1948 and rebuilt as 401 "Wyoming". It was sold to a private ownership and renamed "Carolyn". It was resold to Ozark Mountain Railcar and apparently resold.

CNW 401, "Wyoming" - Chicago & North Western
Title:  CNW 401, "Wyoming" - Chicago & North Western
Description:  This is an original slide of Chicago & North Western business car #401, Wyoming. From what I understand, this is just one of 3 business cars that bore the number 401. No date, location or photographer was listed for this photo so the date was set arbitrarily.

CNW 401
Title:  CNW 401
Description:  While driving down pothooed back roads outside Corpus Christi I came across a very odd sight. This heavyweight car once brought up the rear of Chicago & North Western business trains as CNW 401 "Chicago" but is now on stilts in a field not too far from the Gulf of Mexico. The hot sun and salty sea air is not treating the paint on this car well. It appears as someone is trying to build a gazebo or some sort of structure to partially cover this car. Hopefully this car gets some much needed attention before it rusts away.
