CB&Q E8 9943A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9943A and E7 9927B arriving at Aurora with Train Number 21, the Morning Zephyr, also known as the Twin Cities Zephyr, on November 14, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The Fireman was preparing to pick up train orders. The blunt end observation car was coupled to the baggage car. This was the practice in later years to save switching charges at Saint Paul. The power and baggage car would uncouple from the train upon arrival at Saint Paul, leaving the train at the station. The power would be turned and serviced, return to the station, couple to the train, and depart as Train Number 24, the Afternoon Zephyr.

CB&Q E7 9929B
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9929B on Train #21, the westbound Twin Cities Zephyr (aka the Morning Zephyr) at Shabbona, Illinois on April 2, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I am a passenger on the Oregon Way Freight, the last mixed train working out of Eola Illinois to Oregon, Illinois and return. The way freight, an extra train (the orders were written to Extra XXX West, where XXX is the locomotive number), worked the industries between Eola and Oregon, and was also the passenger accommodation, allowing passengers rail travel to points where they could board a Zephyr, or between rural communities on the Burlington's Twin Cities route from Chicago to Savanna and the Twin Cities. I rode this train a few times, and recall one time the way freight stopping at a rural crossing to pick up a woman, who paid her fare in homemade chicken sandwiches. She was let off at the next rural crossing. I got one of the sandwiches, which was delicious of course. She made enough sandwiches for the head-end crew to have some too.

CB&Q E7 9929B
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9929B on westbound Train #11, The Nebraska Zephyr, at Naperville, Illinois on February 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1947 (c/n 4440), became BN 9929 on March 2, 1970, sold for scrap to Precision Engineering Co., Mt. Vernon, IL, January 25, 1971. Train #11 handled storage mail between Chicago and Lincoln, Nebraska, and usually had a five car articulated trainset from the Second Twin Cities Zephyr on the rear for passenger accommodations. There were two of these articulated trainsets (one for each direction of the Nebraska Zephyr), but if any one car needed maintenance, the entire five car set had to be removed from service, and a substitute set would be assembled from the cars in the coach pool.

CB&Q E7 9929B
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9929B westbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1947 (c/n 4440) on EMD Order E792A, became BN 9929 and was sold for scrap January 25, 1971. It is seen here heading Train #21, The Morning Zephyr, through Naperville on its way to the Twin Cities. On this day, the observation car is coupled to the baggage car, the purpose is to save switching charges in Saint Paul by cutting off the locomotivces and baggage car at the station, leaving the train in the station, turning and servicing the locomotives (and baggage car) and returning to the station to couple back onto the waiting train. According to the June 1965 issue of the Official Guide, This train arrived in Minneapolis at 2:50 PM CST, and returned as Train 24, the Afternoon Zephyr, departing Minneapolis at 2:50 PM. I'm not sure how they pulled that off.

CB&Q E7 9929A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9929A westbound on Train #21, The Morning Zephyr (aka Twin Cities Zephyr) a little east of Naperville, Illinois, June 24, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q E7's were delivered with silver (actually, the paint color was called Aluminum) side panels. Some, not all, of the E7's were retrofitted with stainless steel side panels when they were shopped. This photo shows two E7's that received stainless steel panels. The cab and roof remained painted. And here's a note about this particular E7 from Karl Rethwisch, a retired CB&Q Engineer:An engine used to show up at Aurora Roundhouse for inspection purposes and be gone for 32 days again. This engine caused me more headaches than ALL of the E8's and E9's combined !! The headache I speak of was a CLINICAL headache, not a metaphorical headache. The source of this chronic and sometimes debilitating condition was none other than Miss 9929A herself, dang her !! All E8's and 9's had their control switches neatly arrayed on a panel immediately to the left of, and slightly lower than, the control stand. These switches energized the control circuits, (e.g. fuel pump, generator field, headlight) and such other appurtenances as the Engineer may find useful. The E7's, however, like F units, had a row of these switches just above the Engineer's window. So, after 32 days of hostling 8's and 9's you kinda have a tendency to forget these little nuances of design. Climb up on an engine, go to lean out the window to get a sign from the Roundhouse Helper and BAM !!!!,, 9929A. Every month I'd have a serier of from two to three red welts on my forehead. OUCH !!!!!!!!!

CB&Q E7 9929B
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9929B on Train #21, the Morning Zephyr (aka Twin Cities Zephyr) arriving at Aurora, Illinois on March 20, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1947 (c/n 4440), became BN 9929 (3/2/1970) and was sold for scrap January 25, 1971. The fireman is in the cab door to pick up orders as the train enters the Aurora Depot. The careful observer will note that the observation car is coupled to the baggage car, instead of its usual place at the end of the train. As I understand it, this was to save switching charges at St. Paul. Rather than pay St. Paul Union Depot to wye the train, the train was left in the depot, the engines and baggage car would cut off the train and run off to be serviced, returning to the train after turning themselves, and would couple back to other end of the train. The observation car would then be on the rear of the train for the return trip to Chicago.

CB&Q E7 9930A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9930A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 19, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Sorry about the motion blur, this train snuck up on me. This would have been eastbound Train Number 22, The Morning Zephyr, also known as the Twin Cities Zephyr. However, on this photo date, this was an accommodation train between East Dubuque and Chicago. The Mississippi River had flooded and the tracks at Easr Dubuque were under water. Most CB&Q through trains to and from the Twin Cities were detoured over the Milwaukee Road. To handle the passengers between Chicago and East Dubuque the CB&Q used av`ilable equipment and put together this train which shuttled between the two cities. An interesting side note to this situation; fan trip steam engine 4960 was used in East Dubuque to drag freight cars throughßthe flooded yard in East Dubuque. The water was a foot or two over the rails but not high enough to reach the firebox.

CB&Q E7 9930A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9930A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 22, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1947 (c/n 4499) on EMD Order E792A for a total of 11 E7's on this order, it became BN 9930 after March 2, 1970 and was traded to EMD for an order of SD45's on September 2, 1970. This unit was equipped with two Vapor Clarkson CFK 4225 steam generators mounted side by side at the rear of the unit, the exhaust stack of one can be seen as the rectangular shape on the roof. Beginning with units 9925A and B, this became the standard on CB&Q passenger power. It is seen here with an eastbound Dinky (commuter train) in tow, with the power car on the east end of the train. Usually, the power cars were at the west end of all the Dinkys.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9931B on Train #15, the westbound Galesburg Local, east of Naperville, Illinois on May 16, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. This was an accommodation train which departed Chicago at 6:20PM, stopping at La Vergne and Downers Grove before arriving at Aurora. These were likely stops for CB&Q employees. Number 15 continued on to Galesburg, making all the stops between. Train #15 (and its eastbound counterpart, Train #2) appeared in the CB&Q Employees Timetable #7 dated effective October 27, 1963, but not in the next timetable, #8, dated effective April 26, 1964, indicating that it was likely discontinued.

This locomotive was built in March 1949 (c/n 6501) on EMD Order E1006A, became BN 9912 sometime after the merger (March 2, 1970) and was sold for scrap to Hyman-Michaels on April 26, 1972. It is seen here undergoing repairs at the Burlington's West Burlington shops. The occasion was steam fantrip powered by 4960, celebrating the birthday of 5632, which was also undergoing repairs at West Burlington. Although 9931B would be returned to service, 5632 would not.

CB&Q E7 9932B
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9932B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on July 17, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in March 1949 (c/n 6503) on EMD Order E1006A, it became BN 9913 and was sold for scrap to Precision Engineering Co (after July, 1971, Precision National) on November 4, 1970. It is seen here heading a section of Train Number 10, the Denver Zephyr, east toward Chicago, about 28 miles from this point. I'm not sure, but this might be the second section of Number 10, since the class lights are not lit. The first car behind the motors (CB&Q term for locomotives) is a heavyweight Pullman, one of several Pullman sleepers purchased by the Burlington during 1948. Normally, heavyweight cars were not used on the Denver Zephyr, and this one was pressed into service as a dormitory car for the train crew (porters and dining car crew).

CB&Q E7 9933B
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9933B westbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in March 1949 (c/n 6505), this locomotive became BN 9915 on March 2, 1970 and was sold for scrap on November 4, 1970. I've marked the slide that this was Train Number 17, the California Zephyr. Generally speaking, the CZ did not have this much head end equipment, usually just a single stainless steel baggage car, so I assume the heavyweight baggage cars is a special move of some sort.

CB&Q E7 9935A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9935A eastbound on Train Number 10, the Denver Zephyr, at Naperville, Illinois on September 12, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in March 1949 (c/n 8490), it became BN 9919 and was sold for scrap on November 4, 1970. It is seen leading the Denver Zephyr east, about 28 miles left on the train's 1034 mile overnight journey. It was unusual for the CB&Q to leave the MU hatch open and the MU hoses in place on the front of the lead locomotive, suggesting that perhaps this was not the lead locomotive when it left Denver the previous day. One might speculate that perhaps the lead locomotive had a mechanical failure, or perhaps encountered a foreign object somewhere during the trip and was removed, and there was not sufficient time for the terminal crew to close the hatch and remove the hoses.

CB&Q E7 9935A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9935A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 26, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1949 (c/n 8490) on EMD Order E1006A, it became BN 9919 after March 2, 1970, and was sold for scrap to Precision Engineering of Mount Vernon, Illinois on November 4, 1970. It is seen here leading Train Number 17, the westbound California Zephyr (CZ), the day after Christmas in 1965. Usually the CZ had two locomotives, and the addition of another would indicate extra passengers, and there are two flat top coaches cut in between the baggage car and the first dome.

CB&Q E7 9936A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9936A on Train #1, The Denver Zephyr, at Berwyn, Illinois on June 27, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Also seen in the distance is E8 9943A approaching the Berwyn station. This is a fortunate situation in that I generally took the train from Union Station, thus should have been aboard the approaching Dinky (CB&Q term for commuter train). I happened to be visiting my friend Chris Burritt in Oak Park, and usually would backtrack by riding the CTA elevated train back into Chicago for the connection to the Q and ultimately, back to Naperville where I lived. But I was running late, so I took the bus down to the Berwyn station, where I caught this scene. I thought I could identify each train, but something is amiss in this shot. Looking at a 1965 calendar, this would be Sunday, which makes the Dinky a Sunday only all-stop train. I noted on the slide that the train led by 9936A is the Denver Zephyr. Here's the problem: according to my copy of the Employee's Timetable #10 in effect on this date, Train #1, The Denver Zephyr, departed Union Station at 5:00PM CST, and Train #225, the Sunday Only Dinky, departed at 5:01PM. Furthermore, the Dinky made five stops before arriving at Berwyn at 5:18. So, I am assuming the the DZ is running slightly late, not an unusual occurrence, especially in the summer, when often not only was it late departing, but sometime an overflow crowd of passengers would cause it to run in sections.

CB&Q E7 9936A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9936A eastbound with Train #10, the Denver Zephyr at Naperville, Illinois on July 30, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1949 (c/n 8917) on EMD Order E1006A, became BN 9922 sometime after Mach 2, 1970, and was sold for scrap to Precision Engineering June 14, 1971. It was delivered with Aluminum painted side panels, and during a shopping, the painted panels were replaced with stainless steel laminate panels. Note that the trailing E7 has the original painted side panels. It was equipped with two steam generators. This is an extreme example of panning (moving the camera) to capture the moving subject. Unfortunately, everything else is blurred.
