Hootz the CNW AC44CW

Description

Even though he's not part of the Pennsville Scenic, he is a pretty good friend to the engines on the PSRR. Hootz is a former Chicago and Northwestern AC44CW built by General Electric in 1994 for mainline freight trains. However in 1995, the CNW was merged into the Union Pacific Railroad and all of the CNW's locomotives were now part of the UP or sold to other railroads. Hootz however, had a different faith. The West Virginia and Vermont Rail Corporation bought the CNW's mainline from St Louis to Milwaukee, via Chicago, in 1996 and one of those engines that were to run on that line was Hootz. He kept his original number but hasn't received the railroad's maroon and white livery yet. Sometimes he's a visitor to the Pennsville area since the WV&VRC does run to Pennsville and sometimes helps the PSRR out.
