Oelwein Center for North Western Commuter Train Repair
The Chicago and North Western uses its Oelwein diesel shops to rebuild suburban locomotives aiding Chicago area service. Ten rebuilt this year cost about $1 million with plans for 60 locomotives rehabbed by 1972, expanding to 114 shop workers and a $6.2 million Iowa payroll across Oelwein Marshalltown Council Bluffs and Clinton facilities.
