| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9357 eastbound at Cermak & Halsted in Chicago, Illinois on March 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q served an industrial area a few blocks south of their main line through Chicago known as the Lumber District.

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9357 at Clyde, Illinois on May 9, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1943 (c/n 70120) it was traded in February 1966. The blob in the sky is a plane taking off from O'Hare Airport. Also of interest is the panel truck in the background, complete the the Burlington Route logo on the door. Also, the dirt in the sky is a plane landing at Midway Airport. |

CB&Q VO-1000 9357 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9357 at Clyde, Illinois on May 9, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1943 (c/n 70120), it was traded for new power in February 1966. The word BURLINGTON has replaced the EVERYWHERE WEST slogan that once appeared on this side of the locomotive, evidence of that slogan still shows in the form of fabricated metal strips welded over the louvers below and behind the last N in BURLINGTON. |

It was sold by GE to the ACL (later SCL) where it continued in a second career until retired for a second time during 1977-78. |

CB&Q VO-1000 9376 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9376 at Clyde, Illinois on June 6, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was one of 30 Baldwin VO-1000's allotted to the CB&Q during World War II, when restrictions were placed on the locomotive builders by the War Production Board. The Q would have preferred EMD switchers, but EMD was restricted to building FT road diesels, and the switcher production was split between Alco and Baldwin. As it turned out, the Burlington was the third largest owner of VO-1000's, behind the Santa Fe (59) and the Frisco (38). This one was built during November 1944 (c/n 70318) and retired and traded to GE for new power during March 1966. However, in 1967 GE sold this and ten other CB&Q VO-1000's to the Atlantic Coast Line, and it continued working on the ACL (after July 1, 1967, the Seaboard Coast Line) in CB&Q paint and number until retired by the SCL sometime during 1977-78. |

CB&Q VO-1000 9377 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9377 at North Kansas City, Missouri on June 21, 1964, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built during November 1944 (c/n 70319) and traded in for new power during April 1965. It was delivered with a single exhaust stack, and at some point received a four stack modification to fix an overheating problem. The construction (serial) numbers for the CB&Q VO-1000's are not always sequential because Baldwin was restricted to building locomotives of 1000 horsepower or less by the War Production Board (WPB) during World War II, and the WPB would dole out the finished locomotives on an as-needed basis. |

CB&Q VO-1000 9378 detail |
| Description: |
CB&Q VO-1000 9378 at North Kansas City at Missouri on June 21, 1964, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This is a closeup of a photo posted earlier. As I was cleaning the scan, I noticed that the right half of the letter W in West was cleanly displayed over the louvers. It would appear the the CB&Q welded a piece of sheet metal over the louvers and painted it to match the otherwise stenciled slogan on the side of the locomotive. This is, of course, only of interest to CB&Q fans. Also note that these particular louvers appear to be cut inward to the carbody, whereas all the other louvers are punched outward. This may explain the need for a piece of sheet metal to continue the letter W over the louvers, which on all the other CB&Q locomotives, was simply painted over the louvers. |

CB&Q NW2 9400A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9400A at Bevier, Missouri on August 14, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. It is seen here leased to the Bevier & Southern, arriving in 1962 to replace 4943, perhaps the last operating CB&Q steam locomotive in revenue service, excepting the two fan trip engines. This locomotive was built on Order E912 in October 1947 as the cab unit of EMD's TR2 demonstrator EMD 912A (c/n 5514). The CB&Q purchased a total of 14 TR2 sets, including the demonstrator, and in 1954, sent the B-units back to EMD for installation of cabs. The TR2/NW2's in the 9400 number series were the only NW2's on the CB&Q equipped with MU plugs. It eventually became BN 546 and was retired in May 1983. |

CB&Q NW2 9402A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9402A at Clyde, Illinois on March 14, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1949 (c/n 6564) on EMD Order E1009A for nine TR2A's, mated with nine TR2B's (EMD Order E1009B), this particular locomotive became BN 550 and was retired in May 1983. This was the cab of TR2 9402, a drawbar-connected cow-calf set. In 1954 the CB&Q sent the B-units back to EMD for installation of cabs, suffix letters were added to the units, producing 9402A out of the original cab unit and 9402B out of the returning B unit with a cab. The B's had the revised cab installed, with rectangular windows over the hood on the cab front instead of the arched windows on the original cab A units, as seen here. |

It was returned to EMD in 1954 for the addition of a cab and controls and reclassed as NW2. It became BN 555 and was retired in May 1983. |

CB&Q NW2 9406B |

CB&Q NW2 9406B at West Burlington, Iowa on September 26, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built as a TR2B (a cabless NW2) during February 1949 (c/n 6576) on EMD Order E1009B for nine TR2B's, it was delivered drawbar-connected with 9406A as a single 2000 horsepower locomotive, commonly known as a cow-calf set. During 1954, the TR2B's were returned to EMD for the addition of cabs, and were returned as NW2's. The returned units featured a single taper hood and new style cabs and headlights, the spotting feature of the cabs being the rectangular windows over the hood in place of the original NW2's arched windows. The 9400's (9400-9413 A and B) were the only MU equipped NW2's on the Q. This locomotive became BN 559 and was retired during October 1983. |

CB&Q TR2B 9408B |
| Description: |
CB&Q TR2B 9408B at Knoxville, Illinois on April 2, 1950, photo purchased ages ago from J. R. Gruber, scanned by Chuck Zeiler. This photo shows the original configuration of 9408, a single locomotive built in 1949 as a TR2 cow and calf. This would appear to be the only instance of a single CB&Q locomotive showing both slogans on the same side. The lead unit displays class lights as required by CB&Q rules for road locomotives. The TR2's were broken up in 1954, and the cabless units (CB&Q 9400B-9413B) were returned to EMD for installation of cabs. By that date, the style of the cab had changed to a SW7 style, with rectangular windows over the hood area, as opposed to the arched windows that were on the TR2A's. All the former CB&Q TR2's were re-classed as NW2's. |

| Description: |
CB&Q NW2 9413A at West Burlington, Iowa on September 29, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. It's almost not fair to call this a locomotive, even the horn has been removed. It was built as a TR2A during November 1949 (c/n 8508), mated with cabless TR2B 9413B, the last TR2 set of 14 (9400A&B through 9413A&B). The TR2's were broken up in 1954, and the B-units were returned to EMD for installation of cabs. They were re-classed as NW2's by the CB&Q, and were the only NW2's on the system with MU&capability. It became BN 572 and was retired September 1983. |
