CB&Q GP7 251 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 251 and the crew of the East End Way Freight at Naperville, Illinois on June 7, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The only name I know for sure is the Conductor, Mr. John Sylogye, the gentleman with the hat and pipe. However, Bob Campbell adds: Chuck - the brakeman in the black shirt is Jim Eddy; don't know the guy on the footboard. The Engineer is definitely NOT old Fred Huntley (the regular Engineer on this train). |

CB&Q GP7 251 |
| Description: |
CB&Q GP7 251 pictured in the lower coach yard at Aurora, Illinois, June 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. It is seen here in charge of the consist for a steam fantrip The trip began in West Chicago, and was pulled down the branch line through Batavia to Aurora, where the 251 was cut off and steam locomotive 4960 (a 2-8-2) took over for a trip to Ottawa, Illinois and return. The trip was advertised gs a Fathers Day Outing, and the price was $6.00. The Geep was used on the Batavia Branch because 4960 was too heavy for the brfnch line rails. The Batavia Branch was significŸnt because it was the original railroad that became the CB&Q, chartered as the Aurora Branch Railroad. Some but not all of the CB&Q GP7's were equipped with steam generaJors, and the 251 is so equipped. However, it is not active in this photo, and was certainly not needed in June. The CB&Q had large steel caps fabricated to cover the steam generator's intake and exhaust vents, and they are in place on jhis locomotive. The purpose of the caps was to keep the rain out and prevent rust. This locomotive was built in November 1952 (c/n 16712), became BN 1607, and was retired in Novem_er 1981. |
