CB&Q E8 9968 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9968 westbound on Train #17, the California Zephyr, at Eola, Illinois on January 8, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1952 (c/n 16709) on EMD Order 2048A, became BN 9968, was sold to Amtrak August 1, 1972 becoming 351, was retired May 28, 1975 and sold for scrap to Naporano Iron & Metal Company, Newark, New Jersey.On this date the lines of the California Zephyr are interrupted by a Havelock-built baggage car substituting for the usual Budd bagage car. There is an extra flat top coach behind the baggage car, and another flat top coach is between the first two dome cars, indicating that the usual second (of four) dome coaches has been pulled for service. On the left are a few out of service heavyweight coaches which will likely make the journey across the main line to the rails on the far right, the interchange tracks with the EJ&E and the leads to the Eola Reclamation Plant, where most likely they will be cut up and sold for scrap. To the right of the Zephyr is a cut of cars coming off the EJ&E, which passed over the CB&Q just beyond the signal bridge in the background. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9970 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 14, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I marked the slide mount as Train Number 30, the Ak-Sar-Ben (Nebraska spelled backwards) Zephyr, a daily train departing Lincoln at 9:00 PM and arriving in Chicago at 7:50 AM. On this photo date, the train includes a couple of new Budd gallery coaches in the consist at the head end. The cars were delivered to the CB&Q at Lincoln to avoid Illinois sales tax, and returned to Chicago for revenue service in this manner. |

CB&Q E8 9971 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9971 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 13, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in August 1953 (c/n 18313). Usually, the CB&Q would have attached a power car to this train. The power car was a modified commuter coach with a generator, but in this case certain locomotives were modified to allow some of the power from the locomotive's auxiliary generator to be routed to the coach's lights. The air conditioning was provided by onboard Waukesha engine powered by four propane cylinders on each bilevel coach. The heat was steam. There wasn't a lot of electrical demand in those days. |

CB&Q E8 9971 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9971 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on March 18, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is Train #108 departing Naperville at approximately 6:53AM, a daily except Saturday and Sunday dinky (commuter train) to Chicago, making most of the local stops between Naperville and Chicago, arriving at Union Station at 7:46AM if it maintains the schedule. According to the CB&Q Employees Timetable #9 for the Chicago and Aurora Divisions (Effective at 12:01AM CST, Sunday, October 25, 1964), this train did not depart from the Aurora Depot, so it departed directly from the coach yard, arriving at its first stop, West Eola at 6:40AM, and stopping at Eola at 6:43AM. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9972 at Aurora, Illinois on October 11, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Sinnce the days of steam, arriving Dinkys ( commuter trains ) at Aurora required the power to be turned for the return trip to Chicago. A turntable was located behind the Aurora Depot for that purpose, as seen here. In less that a year from this photo date, six Budd gallery cars with control cabs would arrive and all but eliminate this chore. |

CB&Q E8 9972 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9972 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on March 10, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Of interest to perhaps only CB&Q fans, this locomotive is towing three Budd galley cars and no power car. The equipment behind the third gallery car is another train on the next track. At the time of this photo, an adapted E8 or E9 could power two galley cars with 72 volts from (at least one of) the auxiliary generators, since the only electricity needed on the gallery cars was for lighting. The air conditioning was powered by Waukeska engines mounted on each coach, and heat was provided by the locomotive's steam generator. So either this was an experiment or one of the galley cars was deadheading, just my best guess. |

CB&Q E8 9972 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9972 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 19, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is a Monday morning Dinky (commuter train), one of 30 Dinkys that the CB&Q dispatched in a 24 hour period out of Aurora to Chicago Monday through Friday, with a corresponding number returning. This particular train has the 7100 series coaches in tow, with one Budd bi-level coach at the rear of the train, and a power car carrying the markers. The class PA-14 7100 series coaches were built in the 1920's by the CB&Q with open ends, upgraded in 1949-1950 with enclosed ends and air conditioning, and given a paint scheme of forest green body, tan window panels, yellow stripes and lettering, aluminum roof, and black underbody. By the late 1960's, the PA-14's were withdrawn from suburban service, some lasted into the BN era in MOW service. |

CB&Q E8 9972 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9972 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 19, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note the brake shoe glow and water sloshing out of the underbelly tank. This locomotive was built in June 1953 on EMD Order 2059 (c/n 18314). It became BN 9972 on March 2, 1970. It was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District on April 1, 1977, send to Boise, Idaho during May 1978 for rebuilding to E9Am specs by Morrison Knudsen. It returned as 9906 and was leased to the BN for operation and maintenance until retired in July 1992. It went to MARC as their 66 until retired again. It appears to have gone to the Museum of Transportation in Saint Louis, and then was sold to the SLRG as number 520. I lost track of it after that. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9972 at Aurora, Illinois on September 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note that the first car behind the locomotive is a cab car which would usually lead this train eastbound. Perhaps the cab car's controls had failed. |

CB&Q E8 9972 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9972 at Aurora, Illinois on September 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in August 1953 (c/n 18314) on EMD Order 2059A, it became BN 9972 and later was rebuilt to E9Am 9906. It is seen here on the turntable behind the Aurora depot. There was no roundhouse or locomotive facilities, this turntable was used to turn suburban service locomotives for the return trip to Chicago. The Burlington had received its first six bi-level control cabs during the summer of 1965, so the days of this turntable's useful life were numbered. The sign says: ENGINES MUST STOP WITH TABLE IN BALANCE, not much of a challenge for E8's and E9's, which just fit the turntable. Likely the sign was for steam locomotives, typically 4-6-0's and later 4-6-2's. |
