Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5 5601 presumed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown day in September 1930, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5601 (c/n 61444) was one of eight Baldwin 4-8-4's built in 1930, the Q's first Northerns, road numbers 5600-5607. They were fitted with Elesco feedwater heaters. More 4-8-4's were built by the CB&Q using Baldwin boilers (#'s 5608-5635) and the home-built locomotives were fitted with Worthington feedwater heaters. There's a couple of interesting automobiles in the left of the frame.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5 5602, date, location, and photographer unknown, print by Don Gruber, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5602 was built by Baldwin in September 1930 (c/n 61496) and sold for scrap in June 1960. Although the date and location are unknown, my best guess would around Galesburg (the assigned division) and around 1949, based on the solid pilot wheels (it was delivered with spoked pilot wheels) and lack of Mars light, installed in the 1950's.

Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5 5605
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 ClaChicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5 5605 on September 30, 1953, location and photographer unknown, print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5605 was built by Baldwin in September 1930 (c/n 61499) and sold for scrap in September 1960. The following information is from Bob Campbell:

Picture was taken at First Avenue, Mendota, IL approximately MP 82.1, just west of the coal chute. 5605 is facing east on the westward main and it appears that it is about to either pick-up or set-out in the North Yard. 5605 appears to be on a regularly scheduled eastbound train as there are no white flags displayed. Obviously, they cut their train off west of First Avenue on the eastward main and ran east of the Mendota interlocking plant (not IC Tower, in town), then backed thru the cross over to do the work in the North Yard. I believe at the time of the photo, 5605 is still rolling backwards, as the head brakeman is still hanging off the rear of the tender and the "old geezer" has started to cross the tracks. There are five people in the photo, most of whom appear to be employees. 5605 looks great with Mars light, cab signals and bell ringing (too bad it's a visor-less headlight!).ss O-5 5605 on September 30, 1953, location and photographer unknown, print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5605 was built by Baldwin in September 1930 (c/n 61499) and sold for scrap in September 1960. My best guess on the location would be Galesburg, Illinois.

Number 5607 MAY have been the last complete locomotive delivered to the CB&Q by Baldwin, as well as the last new locomotive delivered with the Elesco Feedwater system. Subsequent 4-8-4's were built by the CB&Q from components supplied by various manufacturers (the boilers were supplied by Baldwin) and were equipped with the Worthington Feedwater system.

Number 5608 was built by the CB&Q using components supplied by various manufacturers (the boiler was by Baldwin), completed at West Burlington, Iowa in September 1936, retired in May 1961. While not a good photo, it shows the locomotive in as-built configuration with spoked pilot wheels and drivers. The CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet dated March 1, 1940 shows 5608 assigned to the Chicago Division.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5609 at Clyde, Illinois on February 11, 1951, photographer unknown, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5609 was assembled by the CB&Q at West Burlington, Iowa, completed in September 1936, sold for scrap in May 1961. The boiler was supplied by Baldwin, and there appears to be a Baldwin builders plate attached in the usual place on the smokebox. I have not yet found the construction (serail) number applied to the boiler. It was one of 13 Class O-5-A's assembled by the Burlington, road numbers 5608-5620. All the Class O-5-A's were equipped with a Worthington Type SA Feedwater Heater, with the hot water pump located under the smokebox and behind a shield, and the cold water pump located below the cab on the Engineer's side.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5611, date, location, and photographer unknown, print by Don Gruber, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5611 was assembled by the CB&Q at West Burlington, Iowa, completed in June 1937, sold for scrap in October 1953. Baldwin supplied the boiler, various other manufacturers supplied the other components, and it was equipped with a Worthington Type SA Feedwater Heater. Based on CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheets dated between 1940 and 1952, showing 5611 assigned to the Chicago Division, the location is guessed to be the Chicago area, and the locomotive is equipped with spoked pilot wheels, so I'm guessing around 1940. Most, if not all, of the Class O-5-A's had their pilot wheels replaced upon shopping for Class 1 repairs, around 10 years or so after building.

CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5614
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5614
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5614 at Lincoln, Nebraska on an unknown day in September 1956, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Assembled during July 1937 by the CB&Q's at the West Burlington Shops, the boiler was supplied by Baldwin. It was retired and donated to the City of Saint Joseph, Missouri during May 1962. I've classed this locomotive as an O-5-B. It was built as a coal-burning class O-5-A, but at some point was converted to burn oil, so I assume it was re-classed.

CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5618
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5618
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5618 on a fantrip, photographer unknown, hand written on the slide mount is: 'Ill-Wis Line St. Croix River July 4, 1958'. The Saint Croix River is located near Saint Paul, Minnesota, so if this is the state line between Illinois and Wisconsin, then this mght be the Wisconsin River in the background, or this may be northbound shot with the Mississippi River in the background. I speculated on the location of Cassville, being a town close to the state line. Anyone with more correct info please leave a comment. Also, although Baldwin did not construct this locomotive, it was assembled from components at the CB&Q shops in West Burlington, Iowa, and Baldwin did manufacture the boiler. See Comments below for more information.

CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5622
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5622
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5622, location and date unknown, print stamped Burlington Route Photo, credit line will be appreciated, Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Co. Advertising Dept., 547 W. Jackson, Chicago, print scanned from Louis Zadnichek collection. The print was also stamped: John Gibb Smith Jr. 6701 N. 12th Street, Philadelphia. Hand written on the print was the following: CB&Q RR Late No. 5622, O-5-A 5622 high speed freight & passenger locomotive built in CB&Q shops at West Burlington, Iowa. Two of these engines are now in service; three more will be completed this fall. 38722A.

According to the book, 'Steam locomotives Of The Burlington Route', by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka, number 5622 was completed at West Burlington in August 1938, so this photo was likely shot around that date. The boilers were built by Baldwin, and the builder's plate on the smokebox would show Baldwin Extra Order 6675. There were five boilers built on Extra Order 6675, which were applied to locomotives 5621 through 5625. The rest of the locomotive was assembled from components from various suppliers. Number 5622 was retired in May 1960.

Hol Wagner adds: That is indeed the west end of the West Burlington storehouse, with the main erecting shop's east end just out of view behind the photographer to the right. And of course this means the view is of the north side of the locomotive, thus the sun is on the other side. Fred Lehmann must not have been able to get them to move the 5622 down the length of the erecting shop and into the clear for a south side photo.
