CBQ commuter trains were called "dinkys" because they were short compared to the 17-car Zephyrs. This one isn't so dinky. |

CB&Q E8 9945A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9945A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on January 25, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in May 1950 (c/n 9689) on EMD Order 2012A, became BN 9945, was sold to Amtrak August 1, 1972 becoming 339, finally retired May 28, 1975 and sold for scrap to Precision National. It is seen making a station stop to discharge passengers and conduct a bit of head end business. The power car behind the locomotive has a baggage section, and a CB&Q employee is handing out something to the man on the ground with the baggage cart. The gentleman on the left side platform has paused in his shoveling duties to watch me snap this photo.This is most likely Train Number 103, a daily except Saturday and Sunday almost all-stop Dinky departing Union Station at 7:35 AM, arriving at Naperville at 8:35 AM. A note in CB&Q Employees Timetable #9 (in effect on this date) states: NO. 103 MUST NOT EXCEED 35 M.P.H. TO DISPATCH NEWSPAPERS AT EOLA. This train is not scheduled to make a stop at Eola (five miles west of Naperville), and I can tell you from first hand experience (I was a newspaper boy in Naperville) that dispatching newspapers at 35 mph was not good for the papers. You generally would throw away the first couple of papers on the outside of the bundle. This train is on the middle track because the eastbound East End Way Freight was occupying the far left (typically westbound) track on its journey from Eola to Naperville this Monday morning. |

| Description: |
A pause in shoveling as Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9945A departs westbound on the middle track at Naperville, Illinois on January 25, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. A fortuitous click of the shutter if ever there was one. In the right background is the station agent at Naperville wheeling the two-wheel baggage cart across the tracks after loading from the power baggage car, a job I was permitted to do when business demanded. I was a paperboy at the time of the photo and Sunday supplements often arrived by train. On a busy day, I got to do the job. |

CB&Q E8 9945A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9945A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on February 25, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The building on the left was the Naperville News Agency, my source of employment as a newspaper boy in my early teen years. You may notice steam at the front of the locomotive. One of the principles of steam heat was that the steam eventually condensed back into water. Generally, the steam valves at either end of the train were cracked open slightly to let that water escape. |

CB&Q E8 9946B |
| Description: |

On the left is E8 9946B leading Train No. 108 stopping at most of the local stations between Naperville and Chicago, arriving at Union Station at 7:46AM. On the right is E9 9989A leading Train No. 110, skipping all the local stations after Lisle and Belmont, stopping next at Cicero, then all the local stations until arriving in Union Station at 7:35AM.

The time is approximately 6:52AM, No. 108 is scheduled to stop at Naperville at 6.53AM, and No. 110 is due at 6:51AM. |

CB&Q 9947B Became BN 9953 and Then Amtrak 346 |
| Description: |
Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy E8A 9947B leads an inbound rush-hour commuter run on a frosty morning at suburban Westmont, Illinois on January 4, 1965. This was during the transition between conventional cars (the first several cars on this train) and gallery cars (aka, double deckers). One gallery car is second from last on this train followed by a single deck car which has a generator for the gallery car because the gallery car cannot accept steam from the steam generator in the diesel (eventually all CB&Q E-units in commuter service would be converted to head-end power by BN and pull trains of all gallery cars with no generator car). The gallery car has electric heating, is air conditioned, and had no small generator under it's floor for the lights powered by the rotation of the car's wheels. Conventional cars were just the opposite, needed steam from the steam generator in the diesel (originally from a steam engine) for heat (and hot water in intercity cars), had a generator run off the wheels when the train was moving and an under-floor battery for when the train was not moving for lights. Today all passenger diesels locomotives have a second much smaller diesel engine to generate power for the cars and thus have "head-end power". |

No extra charge for my self-portrait. |

CB&Q E8 9947A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9947A and UP E9 951 at Union Station, Chicago, Illinois on October 17, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 9947A was built as CB&Q E8 9947A in August 1950 (c/n 11701) on EMD Order 2023A. It became BN 9947 on March 2, 1970 and on August 1, 1972 it became Amtrak 341. It is seen here in charge of Train #25, the North Coast Limited. departing Union Station at 12:20 PM. The times quoted here are Central Standard time, as published in timetables. It's about 1:20 locally. The train will be turned over to the Northern Pacific at 7:05 PM at Saint Paul, MN, 427 miles from this point. Union Pacific 951 was built in June 1955 (c/n 20488) on EMD Order 2070A, and went on to become on of the UP's Heritage Fleet of preserved diesels. It is seen here at the south throat of Union Station, somewhat out of place. The Union Pacific's trains in and out of Chicago were handled by the Milwaukee Road, the only tenant on the north side of Union Station. A possible explanation for this rare appearance of a UP train on the south side might be a derailment blocking the Milwaukee's main line, forcing the MILW to use CB&Q tracks around the problem. |
