CB&Q 0-6-0 Class G-1 1344
Title:  CB&Q 0-6-0 Class G-1 1344
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 0-6-0 Class G-1 1344 at an unknown location in 1914, photographer unknown. According to the book, Steam Locomotives Of The Burlington Route, by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka, number 1344 was built in 1889 as an 0-6-0 by CB&Q's West Burlington Shops as number 298, renumbered in 1898 to 1298, renumbered again in 1904 to 1344, and was retired in August 1921.

Hol Wagner adds: I'm fairly sure the 1344 is simply doing one of its designed chores: shoving a tender, disconnected from its locomotive, into the Ottumwa roundhouse for repair or temporary storage while the locomotive was worked on. And the roundhouse is almost certainly at Ottumwa, the 1344 being assigned to the Ottumwa Division in 1914.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-0 Class H-4 1553 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in 1899, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. This is somewhat unusual for a builder's photo, in the lower left are the words: COPIED BY PHOTOGRAPH DEPARTMENT THE BALDWIN LOCOMOTIVE WORKS. My best guess is that there was some damage to the original photograph, possibly the image in the upper left. Number 1553 was built by Baldwin as a class H-4 2-6-0 in 1988 (c/n 17002), renumbered in 1904 to 1222, rebuilt at Aurora in May 1909 to class K-10 4-6-0 number 959, retired and sold for scrap in July 1952..

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-4-2 Class P-1-C 1591 presumed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania sometime in 1899, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built as a Vaulclain compound by Baldwin sometime during 1898-1899, placed in service on the CB&Q on April 7, 1899. It was shopped for general repairs on Ju;ly 30, 1900, during which time it had accumulated 160,806 miles of service. A total of five P-1-C compounds were built for the CB&Q, road numbers 1591-1595, renumbered in 1904 to 2500-2504. During 1913 this locomotive was rebuilt to a simple expansion engine with 19 X 26 cylinders on both sides, reclassed as P-1, and was retired in January 1933. As built, it had 13.5 X 26 high pressure cylinders located above the 23 X 26 low pressure cylinders on each side. Stephenson valve gear actuated the 13 inch inboard piston valves. Underhung and equalized spring rigging was used under the drivers and trailing wheels. The tenders were similar to the one used under the Columbia type (2-4-2), later changed to conventional tenders with two four-wheel trucks.

CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-4 1918
Title:  CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-4 1918
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-2 Class R-4 1918 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime during 1904, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Although someone wrote the date as 1909 on the photo, I referred to the book, Steam Locomotives Of The Burlington Route, by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka for the following information: In 1904, the R-4 Prairies made their appearance on the road. During that year, forty engines were built by Baldwin, and were assigned No. 1900-1939. The total engine weight of the R-4 Prairies was 208,550 pounds, their operating steam pressure was 210 psi, and they exerted a tractive force of 35,000 pounds. The boilers were of the straight-top design, but in place of the Belpaire-type firebox used on preceding classes, ones of radial-stay construction were used. The 12 inch piston-type valves were of the inboard type and were actuated by Stephenson link motion. The cylinder arrangement was similiar to the P-2 Atlantics. Although the piston rods were extended forward of the cylinders (for additional bearing support) on the first Baldwin-built Class R-4 engines, this was later modified and the extended portion was removed. Some of the R-4 locomotives had 22 X 28 inch cylinders, and others were equipped with cylinders of 25 inch bore. The operating steam pressure was reduced to compensate for the increase in cylinder diameter. By the end of 1925, 14 of the R-4 Prairies were rebuilt with new cylinders of 25 X 28 inch and Walschaerts valve gear was applied to them. These engines were reclassed R-4A. A number of R-4 locomotives were rebuilt to G-10 switchers. The rest retained their original construction features.. During World War II when the Southern Pacific Railroad became short of motive power, several of the R-4 engines were leased by that road and sent to the West Coast where they performed yard and branch-line duties. This particular R-4 was retired in December 1929.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-0 Class D-4-A 1919, unknown location but likely Schenectady, New York, September 1903, photo by the Schenectady Works of the American Locomotive Company, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built in September 1903 by the Schenectady Works of Alco as #1919 (c/n 27733), it was renumbered in 1904 to #3174. In 1902 the Burlington placed an order for 100 2-8-0 type locomotives, 75 to be built by Alco, and 25 by Baldwin. These were the heaviest locomotives on the Burlington at the time, the Alco's weighing 201,000 pounds, and the Baldwin's weighing 199,540 pounds. They featured a straight top boiler, a large radial stayed firebox completely above the rear drivers with a 54 square foot grate area, fired through two separate doors on a sloping backhead. Working pressure was 200 psi. The driver diameter was 57 inches, the cylinders measured 22 X 28 inches with 12 inch piston valves actuated by Stephenson motion. Note the piston rod extension next to the pilot truck providing front bearing support. Most, if not all, of the piston rod extensions were later removed. This particular locomotive was retired in November 1929.

CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-4 1950
Title:  CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-4 1950
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-2 Class R-4 1950 presumed at Dunkirk, New York sometime in January 1905, photograph by the Brooks Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. The Brooks Works (which became part of the American Locomotive Company in 1901) built 50 class R-4 2-6-2's for the CB&Q during 1905, numbered 1940-1989. They were of a similar design as the Baldwin-built R-4's completed in 1904 (#'s 1900-1939), and an additional 50 were built by Baldwin during 1906 (#'s 2000-2049) The total engine weight of the R-4 Prairies was 208,550 pounds, their operating steam pressure was 210 psi, and they exerted a tractive force of 35,000 pounds. The boilers were of the straight-top design, but in place of the Belpaire-type firebox used on the preceding classes, ones of radial-stay construction were used. The 12 inch piston-type valves were of the inboard type and were actuated by Stephenson link motion. The cylinder arrangement was similar to the P-2 Atlantics. Although the piston rods were extended forward of the cylinders (for additional bearing support) on the first Baldwin-built class R-4 engines, this was later modified and the extended portion was removed. Some of the R-4 locomotives had 22 inch by 28 inch cylinders, and others were equipped with cylinders of 25 inch bore. The operating steam pressure was reduced to compensate for the increase in cylinder diameter. By the end of 1925, 14 of the R-4 Prairies were rebuilt with new cylinders of 25 inch by 28 inch and Walschaerts valve gear was applied to them. These engines were re-classed R-4A. A number of R-4 locomotives were rebuilt to G-10 switchers. The locomotive pictured was rebuilt to G-10 number 560 during December 1928, retired and sold for scrap in November 1953. During World War II when the Southern Pacific Railroad became short of motive power, several of the R-4 engines were leased by that road and sent to the West Coast where they performed yard and branch line duties.

CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-5 2050
Title:  CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-5 2050
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-2 Class R-5 2050, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime in 1906, photo by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Baldwin built fifty class R-5 2-6-2's for the CB&Q during 1906, numbered 2050-2099. They were basically an R-4 engine with a redesigned boiler. Fifty similar engines (#'s 2100-2149) were built by the Brooks Works of the American Locomotive Company during 1906, followed by an additional 75 (#'s 2150-2224) built by Brooks the following year. The R-5 Prairie had a boiler with a sloping course at the forward end of the barrel. The boiler shell diameter was thus tapered from 70 inches at the front to 79 inches at the firebox throat. Two of the Baldwin engines were fitted with fire-tube steam superheaters of the Emerson type. The successful performance of the superheaters (which increased the available energy from the steam for conversion to useful work) eventually led to their installation on other R-5 and R-4 locomotives. Although the total engine weight of the R-5 Prairies (159,540 pounds) was somewhat greater than that of the R-4 class (151,070 pounds), they developed about the same tractive force. Their cylinder dimensions (22" X 28"), operating boiler pressure (210 psi), and driving wheel diameter (69") were also the same. By the mid-1920's 15 of the R-5 engines had been rebuilt with new cylinders and valve gear of the Walschaerts type. The rebuilt engines were re-classed R-5A. The locomotive pictured was not rebuilt and was retired in June 1947. As built it had the piston rod extension seen above the pilot truck, which provided additional bearing support. This feature was later removed.
