The last remaining Chicago, and North Western locomotives on the Union Pacific were known as 'The Twins'. In their last years of operation, they were commonly paired together, and operated in various places on The Union Pacific.

In this video, we'll see the last times I caught The Twins together, once just CNW 8646, and a view of UP 1995 - The CNW Heritage Unit! We'll start with CNW 8701 and CNW 8646 getting ready to go at South Paul, at Belt Yard. Once they get moving, we'll see them at last light screaming up hill, and towards Wisconsin. After this, we'll see the 8646 leading a vehicle train on the BNSF, and roaring west on The Staples Sub, To cap it off, we'll see UP 1995, a Heritage Unit, working its way up The Spine Line.
