Former CN 6789, an MLW-built FPA-4, idles before heading west on a short excursion trip on the Monticello Railway Museum tracks. This unit was absolutely beautiful in the green/black/yellow paint scheme. |

CN 6789, heading west |

CN 6789 and train are done for this day as they head west towards one of the maintenance buildings, if I recall correctly, at the Monticello Railway Museum. A former Milwaukee Road switcher is parked on the next track over. |

CN 6789, at downtown depot |
| Description: |
CN 6789 and train are stopped at the downtown Monticello, IL depot before returning to the museum facilities. Except for the ditch lights, and perhaps the clothing, this scene could have been taken just about anywhere served by CN at just about any time. |

MRYM 6789, builder's plate |
| Description: |
Former CN FPA-4 #6789 was the unit for an excursion train at the Monticello, IL Railway Museum on 6-15-2109. This view shows the builder's plate, moved to a oanel underneath the engineer's window. Sorry, I was too far away to get enough detail for the serial number or other stamped or embossed information on the plate itself. Note the steps leading up to the cab, compared to those on other makes of power. |

MRYM 6789, interior view, engineer's controls |
| Description: |
Former CN FPA-4 #6789 was the unit for an excursion train at the Monticello, IL Railway Museum on 6-15-2109. This view shows the engineer's controls. There are four gauges in front of him, other controls on the control stand to his left, and a handset, looking like the receiver part of a telephone, at his right. Interestingly, the handset has the letters "D&RGW" embossed on it! The engineer graciously allowed me to come into the cab and I am grateful beyond words for the opportunity. Be assured, my hands touched nothing except the handrails and my camera during the time I was in the cab chatting with the crew. They have great people at the Monticello Railway Museum! |

MRYM 6789 in action! |
| Description: |
Former CN FPA-4 #6789 was the unit for an excursion train at the Monticello, IL Railway Museum on 6-15-2109. This view shows the clear (relatively) smoke from the exhaust stack as 6789 leads the excursion train to downtown Monticello. I leaned out the caboose cupola window to get this shot and probably broke every safety rule in the book! |
