CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632 at Naperville, Illinois on May 25, 1962, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. This train caught me by surprise. I was at home two blocks away when I heard the whistle. I grabbed my camera and ran out the door, catching a side shot of the train as it passed by. I snapped a few more photos as it rolled west, then realized it was stopping at Naperville, a highly unusual event. I ran as fast as I could, followed by a few other folks also caught by surprise. The event was a steam trip for school children, who were loading at the station while I was running to catch up. The train was ready to depart as I snapped this photo. I don't know the destination of the train, but generally the trips for school childen went to state parks. For those interested, the number 1286 on the signal bridge indicated Track 1 Milepost 28.6, the next number (2286) indicates Track 2, same locaion.

CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632 with the front coupler in the up position eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on July 21, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Once upon a time the CB&Q ran steam powered fan trips almost every Sunday. There was a LP record made titled, "Sunday Only", which was recordings of sounds made by locomotives 4960 and 5632. Often a baggage car was provided behind the locomotive for sound recording enthusiasts. On this trip however, air conditioned suburban coaches (powered by a generator in the coach behind the tender) were provided, the last two coaches were heavyweight coaches, generally with open windows for those who preferred that accommodation. The last car is a mill gondola, with drop ends, for those that wanted that experience. On the way out, the gondola was behind the tender, providing as much noise and dirt as you could handle.

CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632
Description:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632 coupler up westbound at Naperville, Illinois on August 18, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. The date is speculative, I dated the entire roll of film 8/15/1963. Looking at a 1963 calendar, the 15th is a Thursday, and typically, the fantrips ran on Sunday. There is a shot of 4960 several frames earlier on the same roll of film, so I'm guessing that 4960 ran on the 11th and 5632 ran on the 18th.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632 departing westbound at the Aurora, Illinois depot on October 11, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler This was one of many CB&Q steam excursions in 1964, this one headed by 4-8-4 5632. The orange car cut in behind the tender is the Chief Illini, the private car of the Illini Railroad Club, the railroad club of the University of Illinois. It was originally a Pullman observation named Inglehome, was bought by Maury Kleiboldt and was for a while a regular fixture on CB&Q steam excursions. Retired in 1968, today it resides at the Illinois Railway Museum.

CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5632 at West Burlington, Iowa on September 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 5632 was built in this shop, completed in August 1940. It was selected for fan trip service in the 1960's, and was in the process of overhaul on this photo date. The event was a birthday special powered by diesel from Chicago to Galesburg and by 4960 from Galesburg to West Burlington and return. The plan had been to return 5632 to fan trip service, however, fate stepped in. The President of the CB&Q, Harry C. Murphy, retired and control of the CB&Q was in the hands of Louis W. Menk. Menk had no interest in steam or fan trips, the programs were quickly teminated, and 5632 and a few boxcars of parts and machinery were sold to Richard Jensen. Unfortunately, Jensen stored the disassembled 5632 (no flues or staybolts) in a C&WI roundhouse around 47th Street in Chicago, which was soon abandon and slated for demolition. Although 5632 was moved to the south side of Chicago for storage, it derailed in a scrap yard and was cut up on the spot. More information here:
