CB&Q E7 9926A
Title:  CB&Q E7 9926A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9926A at Barr Lake ( Brighton ), Colorado on September 8, 1961, photograph by unknown photographer, print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built in September 1947 ( c/n 4433 ) on EMD Order E792A, retired in September 1969 and dismantled in December 1969. Based on the dome cars, I would guess this was the California Zephyr.

CB&Q E7 9926A
Title:  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.

CB&Q E7 9926A
Title:  CB&Q E7 9926A
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.

Title:  CB&Q E7 9926A
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.
