- C&NW Transition Era into UP Mega Rail System 1995-96, Chicago & North Western-Union Pacific Merger!
The once proud and historic Chicago & North Western Railroad was absorbed into the massive Union Pacific rail network in April 1995. The finer details of the merger were completed the following June. Out on the railroad right-of-way, C&NW locomotives could be seen leading trains anywhere on Union Pacific's Overland Route, especially east of North Platte, Nebraska. Such locomotives included EMD GP50, SD40-2, SD50 and SD60 units, as well as General Electric C44-9W and AC4400CW diesels. Union Pacific engines included EMD GP40X, SD40-2, SD60M, GE C30-7, C40-8, C41-8W, C44-9W and AC4400CW units. Enjoy this final era of C&NW motive power on Union Pacific's expansive rail network.

Thanks for watching.
Nice job Walt!
It’s a shame C&NW isn’t around anymore because of UP. They were acquired around the same time BNSF was formed, as in they were involved in the “super merger” era back then. We lost a lot of great railroads over the years because of these mega-mergers, but it was really the only way they could survive and didn’t have a choice.
I think if BNSF didn’t happen, Santa Fe would have likely been acquired by UP and maybe BN as well. As well know before the BNSF merger, Santa Fe tried to merge with Southern Pacific and even came out with an official paint scheme for when it was approved. It sucks the ICC rejected it though. SP would likely still be around if they were managed better and didn’t buy it I so many assets, because the way they went out was similar to Penn Central’s decline.
Oh, and nice to see those GP40X units!
Yes.
Things come and go Alik.
CNW is still used as a reporting mark by Union Pacific on its rolling stock.
Thanks for letting us know.
