The not for profit group has swelled to over 3,000 members since its inception, and many additional non members read the society s magazine, North Western Lines. The Society s purpose is to preserve the history and memory of the Chicago and North Western Railway and its predecessors, through the publication of a quarterly magazine, the preservation of several thousand pieces of railroad paraphenelia, and an Annual Meet, usually held in mid May. Although the CNW was purchased by Union Pacific in 1995, many of the operations on the ex CNW lines are still very similar, and there are still a number of CNW engines that have not yet been repainted into Union Pacific colors. For that reason, the Society also covers current happenings on the UP involving former CNW equipment, trackage, operating plans, and employees. Annual Meets As previously mentioned, the CNWHS sponsors a gathering every year at a former CNW location. Modeling clinics, slide shows, open forums in which CNWHS officers and members can interact and share ideas, tour of the surrounding area, and a Saturday banquet are usually a part of each meet. There are also three smaller regional meets per year, inviting CNWHS members in the respective membership districts of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Eddie and Albert enlist the aid of a friend, Elsie Hammerdingle Marion Hutton , a taxi driver, to take them to the mansion. While they are upstairs attempting to fix the leak, but flooding the room instead, Peter Evans Kirby Grant , a guest dressed as a cab driver, mistakes Elsie for another costumed guest...despite her insistence that she really is just a cab driver. He winds up inviting her to another gala event, Mrs. Winthrop s Margaret Irving estate Briarwood, where a valuable painting The Plunger is to be revealed.
