The C&NW acquired 30 ex Norfolk & Western High-Nose C628's (1100-1129) in 1973. They were renumbered in the 6700's and were used mainly in Michigan's upper peninsula hauling iron ore between Escanaba and Iron Mountain. All were retired in the early 1980's. 6725 shown at Escanaba in July 1979. By Brian Nicholson
