CB&Q GP30 940
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP30 940 at Clyde, Illinois on June 6, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in May 1962 (c/n 27151) on EMD Order 7621, it became BN 2217 sometime after the March 2, 1970 merger. It was rebuilt by Morrison-Knudsen to BN GP39M 2823 in September 1989, and eventually became BNSF 2823.

CB&Q GP30 941
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP30 941, date, location, and photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. The print is unmarked, so my best guess is Lincoln, Nebraska, sometime in 1963, photograph by Dick Rumbolz.

CB&Q GP30 942, Naperville, Illinois, August 3, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built April 1962 (c/n 27153) on EMD Order 7621 (for 20 units, #'s 940-969), it became BN 2219 and was rebuilt to GP39M 2828. This is one of trailing units, having just completed a setout at Naperville, and is now backing toward its train (note man on step on far right).

CB&Q GP30 943
Description:
CB&Q GP30 943, Cheyenne, Wyoming, photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built April 1962 (c/n 27154), it became BN 2220 and was retired December 1981. It would appear that 943 is at the head of the CGI, the Chicago Grand Island expedited freight train which featured pooled power from the CB&Q and UP. It also appears to be an occasion of some sort. I could not clearly read the road number of the steam locomotive in the background, but it is numbered in the Challenger series, so perhaps it is 3985.

CB&Q U25B 103
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad U25B 103 westbound on the CGI at Naperville, Illinois on February 27, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CGI was an expedited freight train between Cicero, Illinois and Grand Island, Nebraska, and featured a pool of locomotives from the CB&Q and UP. It started in the late GP9 era (about 1960) and lasted (I believe) to the BN merger. Usually the newest locomotives were used, but I got a shot of a similar lashup headed by a Q F2. This locomotive was built in September 1964 (c/n 35197), became BN 5427, and was retired in July 1981.

CB&Q GP30 948
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP30 948 eastbound at Congress Park, Illinois on June 22, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The GP30 was built in May 1962 (c/n 27159), becoming BN 2225 sometime after the merger on March 2, 1970, and was rebuilt to GP39M 2931. Baldwin VO-1000 9354 was built in November 1943 (c/n 70105), and was traded in June 1965. It is seen here dead on the IHB setout track, and likely will move about two more miles to the Pielet Brothers (scrap yard) setout track, across from the EMD plant in McCook, Illinois, for final disposition.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP30 951 at Eola, Illinois on July 17, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in April 1962 (c/n 27162) on EMD Order 7621, it became BN 2228 and was traded to GE in June 1982. This is an eastbound train setting out cars at Eola. On the left in the photo is the CB&Q Reclamation Plant, where many steam locomotives and a variety of rolling stock were scrapped. This yard was also used for interchange with the EJ&E, and the J's main line passed over the CB&Q behind me in this photograph.

Built April 1962 (c/n 27163) on EMD Order 7621 (for 20 units, #'s 940-969), it became BN 2229 and was retired in January 1987. This was the rear unit of a light engine move, and I was clearly on the wrong side of the tracks for this shot. However, it does illustrate faithful obedience to Rule 19 (a) which reads: 19. The following signals will be displayed to indicate the rear of every train, as markers, to indicate the rear of the train: (a) By day, marker lamps not lighted, or green flags, in places provided.

Cut in behind the motors are four new AT&SF GP35's, likely being delivered to the Santa Fe in a state where the sales tax was lower.

Built in June 1962 (c/n 27171) on EMD Order 7521, it became BN 2237 and was retired and traded to GE in June 1982. It is seen here as the trailing unit of a road freight switching the Kroehler Mfg. Co. plant in Naperville, a job normally assigned to East End Way Freight. Circumstances I'm not aware of caused the way freight to be annulled on this day, so the factory was switched by this road freight.

Built in July 1962 (c/n 27173) on EMD Order 7621, it became BN 2239 and was retired in August 1982. It would appear that the numberboard on the fireman's side has been replaced. The font is wider and does not match the style on the engineer's side, and it looks like the letter Z has been pressed into service as the number 2.

CB&Q NW1 9201 and GP-30 964
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW1 9201 and GP30 964 at Clyde, Illinois, on June 27, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler Number 9201 was built by Electro-Motive Corporation (EMC) in December 1937 (c/n 776), and traded to EMD in July 1965 for a SW-1200. It is one of 27 NW1s built, and two were owned by the CB&Q. The NW1 was powered by a 900 hp Winton 201A V-12 diesel prime mover coupled to a GE main generator driving four GE traction motors. By 1930, EMC and the Winton Engine Company had become subsidiaries of General Motors. The spotting feature of the NW1 is the side vents at the top of the hood at the radiator end. The N in NW indicates Nine hundred horsepower, and the W indicates a Welded frame. This locomotive could be ordered with a Cast frame, producing a NC1, and could also come with Westinghouse electrical gear.

CB&Q GP30 971
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP30 971 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on February 6, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in May 1963 (c/n 28293) on EMD Order 7652, it became BN 2248 and was retired in January 1985. Eight GP30's were built on EMD Order 7652 (#'s 970-977), and they were Phase II GP30's. At the request of the UP, EMD added a 10 inch cab extension on this side (the left, or Fireman's side) to better accommodate the crew, thus creating a Phase II GP30. The spotting feature of the extended cab is the lack of a stanchion behind the cab at the bend in the handrail. Complete GP30 Phase rosters can be found in the July 1989 Mainline Modeler Magazine, page 53. Note the second freight car in the consist is a tri-level auto rack loaded with new automobiles, to which the CB&Q is applying a liberal coat of diesel exhaust.

Description:
CB&Q GP30 971 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois, June 7, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Judging by the shadows, it appears to be around Noon. That being the case, according to CB&Q Employees Timetable #10, this is Train #88, the daily Minnesota and Dakota Time Freight, due in Cicero at 12:30 PM CST. The trailing GP20 is 909, I couldn't make out the last GP20's number.

CB&Q GP30 974
Description:
CB&Q GP30 974 eastbound at East Eola, Illinois, January 1, 1966. Here's a story from Karl Rethwisch: If you're familiar with the westbound and eastbound yards at Eola Im sure youve noticed the "mirror" effect. Flipped 180 deg. on their long axis each yd. would be a near duplicate of the other. When workin the west yd alls as it should be, that is, the engine faces east, the lead is on the Engrs side, the Switchman is visible to the Engr and everyone has a good time. Now, lets work the EAST yd and compare. The engine faces east, the lead is on the Firemans side, the Switchman is nowhere within the Engrs sight and few (Engineers that is) have a good time. To accommodate the "backward" lead a three color light signal was installed on the south side of trk. 11. This track is roughly in line with the lead before the lead (ladder track) bends to the north. A Switchman is stationed in a metal shack adjacent to trk. 11 built especially for this purpose. In the shack are controls for the signal displays, a stove, paper, coal and a chair. When the Swman on the lead is ready to switch cars he lines the desired sw. and gives a "KICK" sign to the guy in the shack. Obligingly, the guy causes the GREEN light to display and the Engr "pulls er tail out" (throttle WIDE OPEN!!). After receiving a STOP signal from the guy on the lead the fella in the shack displays a RED signal and the Engr shuts the throttle and applies the brakes. Wanna BACK UP?, just light the yellow and green lights at the same time and viola, she go backward. Sounds simple and, if everything and everyBODY works as designed, it IS. This may be a good time to inject a small note as it relates ta KICKIN. A good Engr. will kick until a stop sign is given by someone on the ground. Since the Engr has no idea where or how far the car(s) are goin he relies solely on the signals he receives from the ground. Switchin 101. Now, lets assume things are workin in a NORMAL manner, that is, the gent in the shack is distracted, tired or hung-over. As a result of any of the aforementioned malady's this gentleman may, on occasion, fail to take note of a signal being vigorously given by the guy on the lead. This oversight, however, usually occurs only when the signal being given is a STOP signal. Seems the SHOVE, BACK-UP or KICK sign is never overlooked, just the STOP signal. Fred Huntley is workin the east yd with his Fireman, D. L. McLaughlin. The signal was installed to accommodate an engine without a Fireman and was used even WITH a Fireman. On this particular evening switchin was progressin nicely and Fred was runnin the eng. Don said that a pause in the action was an occasion seized upon by Fred to load and fire up one of his many pipes. Soon after gettin the pipe workin the switchin resumed. Back up, stop, KICK, stop, back up and so on. This went on for a while till, on one signal ta KICK and Fred got er goin real good, Don began ta think, this is one hell of a kick! Well, it WAS one hell of a kick. Seems the fella in the shack, AFTER puttin up the GREEN light, took a short snooze. Soon, as might be expected, the whole shebang came to a BRUTAL stop, even WITHOUT a RED light displayed. A track with a bunch of inert cars makes a HELL of a bumpin post! As happens so many times in similar events, the eng crew was violently unseated and hurled against the front cab windows (no seat belts). Don impacted the window vigorously and Fred, after bouncing off the control stand, did likewise. Don, after recovering his composure, went over ta check on Fred who was still in the process of extricating himself from the various things that one finds on the Engrs side. Dang, the bowl of Fred's pipe was pushed right up to his lips. This situation could be pretty rough on a guy's throat one would think. It probably would have been too if Fred had not been smokin' a CURVED STEM pipe at the time. Unlike the litigious crowds of today no lawsuit or lost time just a "conversation" with the guy in the shack.

CB&Q GP30 977
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP30 977 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on November 29, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. This was the last GP30 delivered to the CB&Q, built September 1963 (c/n 28299). It became Burlington Northern 2254. By the date of this photo, it was 2 months old. Sorry for the lousy photo. I shot this when I was 15, with my mom's cast off Pentax Rangefinder camera, and I could only afford black and white film. And the date of November 29, 1963 is conjecture, I dated the entire roll of film as November 30, but on the same roll of film is a shot of EMD's official demo train consisting of GP35 5652, a DD35, EMD's former B-unit Test Car, another DD35, and another GP35, passing this very point, but running in the other direction. I'm pretty sure this DD35 was part of that demonstrator train. I've put out a couple of inquires to try to figure this photo out. It would appear (speculation) that the Q tested a DD35, but most likely concluded it would not suit their needs. In theory, a single locomotive of 5000 hp was cheaper to maintain than two 2500 hp locomotives. In practice, railroads tended to look at it as taking two GP35's out of service when only one of them was broken. Anyway, the CB&Q never rostered a DD35.
