CB&Q GP7 225
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 225 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 8, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1951 (c/n 14689) on EMD Order 5072, it became BN 1581 and was retired in November 1981. It is seen here as Extra 225 East, the East End Way Freight leaving Naperville and heading toward Downers Grove. This train switched the industries between Eola and Congress Park. This particular GP7 was one of a few that was not equipped with a steam generator, and in this case, a large concrete block occupies the short hood to ballast the front truck.

CB&Q GP7 226
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 226 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 20, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This is the East End Way Freight (Extra 226 East, to the Dispatcher) which switched the industries between Eola and Congress Park. It has finished the Naperville industries and is heading east, likely the next job will be Pepperidge Farm in Downers Grove where that air slide hopper will be set out.

CB&Q GP7 226
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 226 on the East End Way Freight at Naperville, Illinois on April 1, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1951 (c/n 14690) on EMD Order 5072, it bewcame BN 1582 and was retired in September 1983. This is the paint scheme the GP7's were delivered in, nicknamed "blackbirds" by the local crews. It would soon exchange this paint for the red scheme, nicknamed "redbird" appropriately enough. It was equipped with a steam generator, and at the time of this photo, the intake and exhaust were covered with steel caps painted to match the roof color.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 226 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 1, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This train was the returning East End Way Freight, having worked the industries between Naperville and Congress Park. It will tie up at Eola, about ten miles west of this location.

CB&Q GP7 226
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 226 on the East End Way Freight at Naperville, Illinois on December 8, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built September 1951 (c/n 14690), became BN 1582, and was retired September 1983. It may appear there is dirt in the upper left of this photo, but those are pigeons who took to the air upon hearing a hard coupling. They will make a circle and land back on their home, the top of the Boecker grain elevator in the background. Also pictured is waycar (CB&Q term for caboose) 14351, which for the four years I photographed trains in Naperville was the regularly assigned waycar to the East End Way Freight. It was chalked "E END" on the cupola end by the curved grab iron. It was built at the Aurora Shops in July 1906, became BN 11087, and was retired and donated in January 1971. A note on the donation in the book, Waycars Of The Chicago Burlington & Quincy RR reads: 'Car auctioned off by television station WTTW, Chicago, IL, and sold to a private individual in Prospect Heights, IL on May 1, 1977'. I have no further info at this time.

CB&Q GP7 233 Engineer's side
Description:
CB&Q GP7 233, Engineer's side at Eola, Illinois on December 28, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q's GP7's were equipped with dual controls, this shows the Engineer's side. A similar set of controls were on the other side of the cab, so the Engineer would be on the proper side of the locomotive no matter which direction it was moving.

CB&Q GP7 233, Fireman's side at Eola, Illinois on December 28, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q's GP7's were equipped with dual controls, this shows the Fireman's side. A similar set of controls were on the other side of the cab, so the Engineer would be on the proper side of the locomotive no matter which direction it was moving. Looking through the window, you can see a vertical pipe, which was the exhaust pipe for the Vapor Standby Heater, installed on the running board in front of the cab on the long hood side. The purpose of the heater was to heat and circulate the cooling water through the engine block when it was shut down in cold weather to prevent freezing.

CB&Q U25B 100
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad U25B 100 at Clyde, Illinois on February 19, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The U25B was a bold move, since the CB&Q was a loyal EMD customer for a couple of decades. One assumes there is a story from the front offices to go with this photo, but the CB&Q acquired its first non-EMD road units in this order of these six U25B's (#'s 100-105) in 1964. It surely sent a message to EMD. This locomotive was built in September 1964 (c/n 35194), became BN 5424, and was retired in May 1981. Behind the U25B is a F3B and an SD24. On the other track is GP7 233.

CB&Q GP7 234
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 234 on the East End Way Freight at Naperville, Illinois, September 3, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. If this is not this locomotive's first assignment after leaving the paint shop in its shiny new "redbird" paint scheme, it is one of the first. It was delivered in what was termed the "blackbird" paint scheme by the local crews in September 1951 (c/n 14698), became BN 1590 and was retired in October 1982. Although it is equipped with a steam generator, the intake and exhaust stacks are covered with steel caps to keep out the weather.

CB&Q GP7 234
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 234 at Naperville, Illinois on April 12, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is the returning (westbound) East End Way Freight, the evidence is the waycar (CB&Q term for caboose), #14351, regularly assigned to the East End job. The East End Way Freight worked all the industries between Eola and Congress Park, starting about 7:00 AM and returning (seen here) when the work was completed. Usually it would have a few empties to return to Eola, but not today. The way freight always ran as an extra train, in this case, this train is known as Extra 234 West.

CB&Q GP7 241
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 241 and crew at Oregon, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. I'm working on crew ID. This was the power for the Oregon Way Freight, which I rode occasionally in 1963 and 1964. It was the last mixed train out of Eola. In place of the usual waycar, this train featured a 40 foot combine number 3003. In addition to serving freight customers between Aurora and Oregon, the way freight also provided passenger accommodations between those two points. On this date I was the only passenger, somewhat irritating to the Conductor ( the gentleman on the far right, "Hummy" Humiston ), who had to fill out additional paperwork for a single passenger.

Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 242 and E9 9988B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on March 30, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The GP7 is leading the East End Way Freight east, having finished switching the industries on both sides of the tracks in Naperville. Since the way freight occupies Track 3, the Dinky is on Track 2, and the commuters were briefly the main ingredient in a train sandwich at the station seen in the background. The Dinky is overtaking the way freight but will stop at Lisle, four miles further east, allowing the way freight to catch up. This will continue until Downers Grove, a likely stopping point for the way freight to perform a few more switching duties usually at Pepperidge Farm.

At the time of this photo the CB&Q had a daily train between Flag Center and Rockford based in Rochelle, Waycar 14399 and GP7 234, were assigned to that train.

CB&Q GP7 244
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 244 switching at Naperville, Illinois on April 7, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in November 1952 (c/n 14708) on EMD Order 5148, it became BN 1600 and was retired in September 1983. It is seen as the power for the East End Way Freight (to the Dispatcher, this is Extra 244 East) switching the industries in Naperville. The locomotive is equipped with a steam generator, and has a box on the running board ahead of the engineer's front window, which I believe is for Automatic Train Control equipment. A similiar box appears on the top of the boiler on steam locomotive 4960. Here is an expanation from Karl Rethwisch, retired CB&Q Engineer: Chuck, to my knowledge the 243 and 244 were the only Q Geeps fitted with Automatic Cab Signal equipment. They would, occasionally, show up on the Galesburg Local passenger job. I know of no reasons why these two engines were so equipped.

CB&Q GP7 250 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 19, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. We get a friendly wave from Engineer Fred Huntley as he gets the East End Way Freight out of town and heads east for more local switching. The second car back is a CN boxcar, likely loaded with rolls of newsprint paper for the local printing company in Downers Grove.

Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 251 and the crew of the East End Way Freight at Naperville, Illinois on June 7, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The only name I know for sure is the Conductor, Mr. John Sylogye, the gentleman with the hat and pipe. However, Bob Campbell adds: Chuck - the brakeman in the black shirt is Jim Eddy; don't know the guy on the footboard. The Engineer is definitely NOT old Fred Huntley (the regular Engineer on this train).

CB&Q GP7 251
Description:
CB&Q GP7 251 pictured in the lower coach yard at Aurora, Illinois, June 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. It is seen here in charge of the consist for a steam fantrip The trip began in West Chicago, and was pulled down the branch line through Batavia to Aurora, where the 251 was cut off and steam locomotive 4960 (a 2-8-2) took over for a trip to Ottawa, Illinois and return. The trip was advertised gs a Fathers Day Outing, and the price was $6.00. The Geep was used on the Batavia Branch because 4960 was too heavy for the brfnch line rails. The Batavia Branch was significŸnt because it was the original railroad that became the CB&Q, chartered as the Aurora Branch Railroad. Some but not all of the CB&Q GP7's were equipped with steam generaJors, and the 251 is so equipped. However, it is not active in this photo, and was certainly not needed in June. The CB&Q had large steel caps fabricated to cover the steam generator's intake and exhaust vents, and they are in place on jhis locomotive. The purpose of the caps was to keep the rain out and prevent rust. This locomotive was built in November 1952 (c/n 16712), became BN 1607, and was retired in Novem_er 1981.
