CB&Q 0-6-0 Class G-8 1719
Title:  CB&Q 0-6-0 Class G-8 1719
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 0-6-0 Class G-8 1719 at Kansas City, Missouri on August 7, 1935, photograph by Truman Boyd, Louis Zadnichek collection via Robert W. Johnston. Number 1719 was built by Baldwin August 1901 ( c/n 19495 ) as 2-6-2 Class R-2 1719, rebuilt in 1918 to an 0-6-0, retaining the 1719 road number, classed G-8, retired in May 1941. There appears to be pipes below the pilot beam pointing toward the track. Hol Wagner offers the following: They appear to be steam nozzles for clearing switches of ice and snow.

CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-3 1721
Title:  CB&Q 2-6-2 Class R-3 1721
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-6-2 Class R-3 1721 presumed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime in 1902, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Fifty of these class R-3 2-6-2 Prairie types were built by Baldwin for the CB&Q during 1902, assigned road numbers 1721-1770. During the 1904 systemwide renumbering, the R-3's became road numbers 1800-1849. Similar to the class R-2's, but with 14" more boiler tube length, they had 21"X26" cylinders, piston valves actuated by Stephenson valve gear, 69" drivers, capable of both passenger and freight assignments, total engine weight was 181,920 pounds, and could develop a tractive force of 28,200 pounds. Some of the R-3's were converted to class G-9 and G-9-A 0-6-0 switchers, but this one remained a 2-6-2 until retired in December 1928. I could be wrong but I believe this was the last application of the rigid frame trailing truck on a CB&Q locomotive. The trailing truck did not swivel, rather the axle bearings had enough slop built in to allow movement laterally within the journal boxes to account for curvature in the track.

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.

CB&Q 2-8-0 Class D-4-A 1919
Title:  CB&Q 2-8-0 Class D-4-A 1919
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.

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.

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.

CB&Q 4-4-2 Class P-2 2534
Title:  CB&Q 4-4-2 Class P-2 2534
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-4-2 Class P-2 2534 ar Ralston, Nebraska on June 25, 1917, photographer unknown, Hol Wagner collection. Number 2534 was built by Rogers in 1902 as B&MR 3706 ( c/n 5858 ) renumbered to CB&Q 2534 in 1904, retired in February 1933. The following is from Hol Wagner:

Among locomotives that got L&B front ends, as the smokebox extensions were known, were several classes of 4-4-2s. These extensions could make for some really ugly looking locomotives! Known as L&B Front End ( Lignite & Bituminous), it worked for both, and that's why the extension and its "guts" did not have to be removed when a locomotive was reassigned to non-lignite burning divisions; only the grates had to be changed. And for reference, the Omaha, Lincoln and Wymore divisions were never lignite burning divisions. Alliance, McCook, Sterling, Casper and Sheridan were the only ones, but Sterling and Casper became oil-burning divisions by 1930. To the best of my knowledge, the only Q locomotives that came from the builder with L&B front ends were the class B-1 and B-1-A Mountains ( 4-8-2 ); all others were fitted with them by the railroad.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-4-2 class P-5 2566 at Denver, Colorado on an unknown date in 1951, photograph by H. O'Hanlon, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 2566 was built by Baldwin in 1905 (c/n 26735) as number 2710, a class P-3-C (balanced compound), rebuilt to a simple class P-5 in 1927 and renumbered 2566. It was retired in June 1948. I have no information when it was converted to burn oil. The class P-5 Atlantics were created by rebuilding six P-2-C and 14 class P-3-C locomotives. This was accomplished by adding new cylinders, new front engine frame, Schmidt-type superheater, new tube sheets, tube sand tube arrangement, and applying Walschaerts valve gear, and 74 inch driving wheels. The original eight foot long cabs were eventually replaced with shorter ones.

The rebuilding was similar to the P-5 process except 69 inch driving wheels were used. It was sold for scrap ion August 1951. I believe the extended smokebox is an indicator that this locomotive burned Lignite coal.
