CB&Q S2 9302 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad S2 9302 with shutters closed at Denver Union Station on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built on Order S1915 for the Bingham & Garfield, diverted to the CB&Q by the War Production Board. The Burlington Northern anticipated using these locomotives and allotted road numbers 925-933, but they were traded to GE before the merger was consumated. The intended number series remained vacant. Although GE accepted the S2's as trade-in credit on nine U23C's, the switchers were sent directly to Precision Engineering Co., of Mount Vernon, Illinois, where all but one were scrapped and the usable parts stockpiled. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad S2 9302 at Denver Union Station on August 27, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. As it turned out, the nine Alco S2's allotted to the CB&Q during WWII were the only Alco diesel locomotives acquired by the CB&Q. They gave it their best shot trying to apply the CB&Q stripes to the Alco radiator shutters. |
