CB&Q #9921B |
| Description: |
A trio of E7A's, led by #9921B, are the power for what appears to be a mail train, with a UP lightweight baggage-express car first out, followed by 2 CB&Q "Havelock" lightweight baggage-express cars, 4 heavyweights (2 baggage-express cars, a baggage-RPO, and another baggage-express), another "Havelock" baggage-express, and I can't tell after that. A number of the baggage-express cars would be in postal storage service and would therefore be locked. Scanned with an Epson V550 from a duplicate 35mm slide, brand is unknown. Photographer is unknown; date, month, and year are approximate. |

CB&Q E7 9922B |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9922B heading Train Number 11, the Nebraska Zephyr, at Galva, Illinois on October 12, 1956, photograph by P. Stringham, print by William A. Raia, Chuck Zeiler collection. Behind the baggage car is the seven car articulated trainset (one of two such trainsets) from the second Twin Cities Zephyr (TCZ), removed from TCZ service in late 1947 and refurbished at Aurora for Nebraska Zephyr service. Included in the refurbish work was the raising of the floors in the cars 2½ inches. As built the windows were located higher than usual because at the time it was believed that passengers would feel discomfort from observing the train moving at the high speeds attained by the TCZ. The high windows permitted view of the scenery while resticting the view of the ground. The fear of discomfort proved unfounded and, if fact, passengers complained about the resticted view. Gentle ramps were installed for transition from the raised floor to the vestibules. One of the TCZ trainsets is at the Illinois Railway Museum (reduced to a five car set around 1965) and the other set is rumored to be in Saudi Arabia. The locomotive was completed by EMD November 24, 1946 (c/n 2951) and wrecked at Montgomery, Illinois on September 27, 1964. It was scrapped soon after. |

CB&Q E7 9924B |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy E7 9924B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 11, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in November 1945 (c/n 2955) on EMD Order E646A and was sold for scrap in February 1968. I marked the slide as the North Coast Limited (NCL). I believe that is in error. I've consulted the June 1965 copy of the Official Guide, which states that Train# 26, the NCL was due at Aurora (10 miles west from this point) at 1:15 PM, and it it early morning judging by the lighting, and the headight in the left background, which would be the East End Way Freight, also a morning train in Naperville. However, the Mainstreeter, Train #48, was due at Aurora at 5:45 AM, and if it was running late, it would fit into this photo quite well. Either way, there was Northern Pacific passenger equipment in this train. |

CB&Q E7 9924B |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9924B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 12, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1945 (c/n 2955), sold for scrap in February 1968, it is seen here on an eastbound Dinky. I shot this same locomotive the previous day (Friday) heading east on a passenger train from the Twin Cities. That being the case, I surmise that 9924B was serviced, turned, and sent out to Aurora on a Dinky (commuter train). June 12 was a Saturday, and the Burlington would run its E units back to Chicago during the weekend lull. They would be serviced and rotated into Zephyr service and the E's that were in Zephyr service would be assigned to suburban service. Generally, on Friday evening, the extra E's in Aurora would be ganged up (4-5 per train) on a single car Dinky for the return to Chicago, but sometimes on Saturday there would be a few stragglers left to send back, as seen here. This locomotive was among the first group of E7's acquired by the CB&Q, and were the "Phase 1" design with small numberboards and retractable front couplers. Part of the retractable coupler mechanizm included the buffer plate, the item above the coupler allowing footing when walking between coupled locomotives. There was air-operated apparatus in the nose of the early E7's that extended the coupler and buffer plate, or retracted same, as needed. It soon became apparent that simply leaving the coupler and buffer plate in the extended position simplified maintenance. |

Sorry about the lousy photo, The sun was not right for photographs on either side of the track in the early morning. Number 9925A was built in December 1945 (c/n 2956) and sold for scrap in May 1968. On the day of this photo it was in charge of Train #48, the combined Blackhawk and Mainstreeter, dragging various components of CB&Q, GN, and NP trains from the Twin Cities to Chicago. |

CB&Q E7 9926A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9926A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 11, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is somewhat unusual for two reasons: The CB&Q did not typically use E7's on Dinkys (commuter trains) except when they were due for their monthy inspections, and the power car (the first coach, which contained a diesel powered electric generator), is on the east end. The usual arrangement was to place the power car at the west end of the train to keep the noise and fumes away from the passengers as they boarded at Union Station. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9926A westbound with Train #23, The Afternoon Zephyr, at Naperville, Illinois on June 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q had two Zephyrs in each direction between Chicago and Minneapolis - Saint Paul, both were known as the Twin Cities Zephyrs. To distinguish between the two, the AM train was called The Morning Zephyr, the PM train was known as The Afternoon Zephyr. The Afternoon Zephyr departed Chicago at 2:30 PM CST (3:30 locally, DST), and arrived in Minneapolis at 9:50 PM CST. It would depart Minneapolis the next moring at 7:45 AM as Train #22, The Morning Zephyr, arriving in Chicago at 2:40 PM. This photo also illustrates the difference in carbody panels. Some, but not all, of CB&Q's EMD E-units were retro-fitted with stainless steel panels. The lead locomotive has the as-delivered painted (the color was known as Aluminum) panels, and the trailing unit has been fitted with replacement stainless steel panels. |

CB&Q E7 9926B |
| Description: |
CB&Q E7 9926B westbound on Train #11, the Nebraska Zephyr at Naperville, Illinois on July 10, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1947 (c/n 4434) on EMD Order E792A, became BN 9926 on March 2, 1970, and was sold for scrap to Precision June 14, 1971. Although some of the E7's were retro-fitted with stainless steel side panels, records indicate this unit never received them. It is seen here with the as-delivered side panels painted aluminum. This unit did have the louvered door behind the cab door replaced with a sheet metal door. On some E7's this louvered door was found to be unnecessary, although the door access was still used to change out the main air reservoirs, which were located immediately behind the cab bulkhead. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9926A on the second Train #10, the eastbound Denver Zephyr at Aurora, Illinois on December 19, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1947 (c/n 4433) on EMD Order E792A, retired in Spetember 1969 and dismantled in December 1969, it is seen here heading the second section of Train #10. Behind the motors appears to be a Southern Pacific car, most likely a sleeper. The first section would have most of the normal Denver Zephyr consist, including the baggage cars and dormitory car. The second section would need a stand-in dorm car for the train crew (porters and dining car staff), and the SP car likely is filling in. |

CB&Q E7 9927A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9927A at the Zephyr Pit (14th Street) in Chicago, Illinois on March 14, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1949 (c/n 4435) on EMD Order E792, it was retired in September 1969 and dismantled in December. This location was known as the Zephyr Pit, built for the first Zephyrs on the west side of the south throat of Union Station. This was adjacent to the CB&Q coach yards. Before this facility was built, the steam locomotives would cut off their trains and run out to the roundhouse at Western Avenue, about a mile or so further to the west. |

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. |
