AT Caboose 92
Description:
Auto-Train caboose 92 at Sanford, Florida on an unknown day in February 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 92 was built as a 40 foot boxcar for the FEC, converted to bay window caboose 808 by the FEC, converted to a cupola caboose by AT. It was needed on AT trains after the auto carrier cars were moved to the rear of the train and also when the trains ran in two sections, with one train consisting of just the auto carrier cars.

AT&SF VO-1000 2218
Description:
AT&SF VO-1000 2218 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 19, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in June 1943 (c/n 67725) it was retired March 30, 1971 and went to PNC in June of that year. Note that it is stencilled for both the AT&SF and C&S. At the time of this photo, this unit was assigned as the station switcher at the joint AT&SF/C&S depot. Those two roads had a switching agreement with AT&SF providing a Baldwin or two, an RSD4 (#2107), and a GE 44 ton (#464), and the C&S providing EMD products. It appears that the C&S handled the switching in Denver, and the AT&SF handled the switching in Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The C&S locomotives were lettered C&S over AT&SF, and the AT&SF locomotives were lettered AT&SF (or Santa Fe) over C&S.

CB&Q VO-1000 9350
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9350 at Kansas City, Missouri on January 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This was the first of 30 VO-1000's delivered to the CB&Q during World War II. This one was built in October 1943 (c/n 69778) and traded to GE for new power during March 1967. It was sold to the ACL and went on to a second career, finally retired in 1977-78. Baldwin switchers would not have been the first choice of the CB&Q, but it was not the railroad's decision, rather the War Production Board (WPB) allocated locomotives during the war based on need, and the Burlington was in need of switchers. The WPB allocated a total of 39 diesel switchers to the Q, nine were Alco S2's, and 30 were Baldwin VO-1000's. As built, the VO-1000 had a single exhaust stack located toward the cab end offset to the left, but this proved to be restrictive, and heat would build up in the carbody, causing overheating of the main generator. The exhaust manifold was redesigned a couple of times by Baldwin, finally settling on a four stack design. This design was retro-fitted to several of the CB&Q's VO-1000's.

CB&Q VO-1000 9352
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9352 (c/n 70103) presumed at the Baldwin Eddystone, Pennsylvania plant around November 1943, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. The CB&Q received a total of 30 VO-1000's from Baldwin, not by choice, but as doled out by the War Production Board during World War II. The CB&Q would have preferred EMD switchers, but EMD was restricted to producing the FT model road diesel and Model 567 diesel power plants for submarines. The VO-1000's were assigned the 9350-9379 number series. They were powered by a De La Vergne four-cycle eight-cylinder in-line diesel prime mover coupled to Westinghouse electrical gear, producing 1000 horsepower, or 60,405 pounds of tractive effort. It was found that the single exhaust stack tended to create back pressure, and as a result, tended to overheat. The CB&Q (and other railroads) solved this problem by installing four stacks on many of its VO-1000's, resulting in a noisier locomotive. Some railroads went so far as to add eight exhaust stacks, a practice Baldwin called, "hot-rodding".

CB&Q VO-1000 9352
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9352 (c/n 70103) at the Baldwin Eddystone, Pennsylvania plant around November 1943, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 9352 was retired May 1966, likely traded for new power. When approved by the War Production Board, the CB&Q received a total of 30 VO-1000's from Baldwin spanning eight orders, so the serial (construction) numbers were not consecutive, and were assigned the 9350-9379 number series. They were powered by a De La Vergne four-cycle eight-cylinder in-line diesel prime mover coupled to Westinghouse electrical gear, producing 1000 horsepower, or 60,405 pounds of tractive effort. They featured an infinite "air throttle" or electro-pneumatic throttle system as Baldwin preferred to call it. An air valve controlled a resistor which in turn controlled the exciter and generator fields. This produced a "soft start", meaning that even if the throttle was yanked back, the air valve would slowly adjust the resistor to allow the fields to build up. The VO-1000's were concentrated in the Chicago and North Kansas City areas for most of their service life on the CB&Q.

CB&Q VO-1000 9352
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9352 (c/n 70103) presumed at Eddystone, Pennsylvania sometime during November 1943. The CB&Q received 30 Baldwin VO-1000's during World War II, this one was retired in May 1966. A CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet dated June 1965 shows this locomotive assigned to Hannibal, Missouri. Several CB&Q VO-1000's (#'s 9350, 9355, 9361, 9363, 9366, 9367, 9369, 9370, 9371, 9372, & 9379 ) found a second life when they were traded to GE for new power, and were re-sold to the Seaboard Coast Line.

CB&Q VO-1000 9352
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Baldwin VO-1000 9352 presumed at Eddystone, Pennsylvania sometime in November 1943, print by H. L. Broadbelt, Chuck Zeiler collection. Delivered to the CB&Q around November 1943 (c/n 70103), this was one of 30 VO-1000's the Burlington was allotted by the War Production Board during World War II. It was retired in May 1966. Introduced in 1939, a total of 548 VO-1000's were produced until this model was superseded by the DS-4-4-1000 in 1946. During 1945 Baldwin made several changes to the VO exhaust system design. Originally, the VO's had a single stack, offset to the left in front of the cab. During the first half of 1945, this was changed to two stacks, and later it became four stacks; equally spaced on the VO-1000 and grouped in pairs on the VO-660. In service it had been found that the single stack created excessive heat around the main generator. The two-stack design cured that problem, but heat expansion caused cracks in the exhaust manifold. The four-stack design cured the cracking problem.

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.

CB&Q VO-1000 9370
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9370 at Clyde, Illinois on April 20, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built by Baldwin November, 1944 (c/n 70311) it was traded for new power to GE in March 1967. It was sold by GE to the Atlantic Coast Line (later, Seaboard Coast Line) and worked in CB&Q paint and number for the SCL until retired in 1968. It was one of 30 Baldwin VO-1000's allotted to the CB&Q during World War II, when the War Production Board took over the manufacture of railroad equipment and rationed out locomotives and rolling stock based on perceived need. The CB&Q would have preferred EMD switchers.

CB&Q VO-1000 9376
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9376 at Clyde, Illinois on June 6, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was one of 30 Baldwin VO-1000's allotted to the CB&Q during World War II, when restrictions were placed on the locomotive builders by the War Production Board. The Q would have preferred EMD switchers, but EMD was restricted to building FT road diesels, and the switcher production was split between Alco and Baldwin. As it turned out, the Burlington was the third largest owner of VO-1000's, behind the Santa Fe (59) and the Frisco (38). This one was built during November 1944 (c/n 70318) and retired and traded to GE for new power during March 1966. However, in 1967 GE sold this and ten other CB&Q VO-1000's to the Atlantic Coast Line, and it continued working on the ACL (after July 1, 1967, the Seaboard Coast Line) in CB&Q paint and number until retired by the SCL sometime during 1977-78.

CB&Q VO-1000 9377
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9377 at North Kansas City, Missouri on June 21, 1964, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built during November 1944 (c/n 70319) and traded in for new power during April 1965. It was delivered with a single exhaust stack, and at some point received a four stack modification to fix an overheating problem. The construction (serial) numbers for the CB&Q VO-1000's are not always sequential because Baldwin was restricted to building locomotives of 1000 horsepower or less by the War Production Board (WPB) during World War II, and the WPB would dole out the finished locomotives on an as-needed basis.

CB&Q VO-1000 9378
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9378 at North Kansas City, Missouri, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built in December 1944 (c/n 71977), traded for new power during February 1966. It was one of 30 VO-1000's allotted to the CB&Q by the War Production Board during World War II. The VO-1000's were assigned 9350-9379 road numbers. This particular locomotive has been retro-fitted with the four stack exhaust system developed by Baldwin to cure an overheating problem produced by the single exhaust. The CB&Q applied this fix to some but not all of their VO-1000's. This locomotive also displays the carbody changes applied by Baldwin during mid-1944. The cab and battery box ends are squared off, omitting of the contoured plates applied to the earlier version, and the frame ends are angled, instead of contoured.

CB&Q VO-1000 9378 detail
Description:
CB&Q VO-1000 9378 at North Kansas City at Missouri on June 21, 1964, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This is a closeup of a photo posted earlier. As I was cleaning the scan, I noticed that the right half of the letter W in West was cleanly displayed over the louvers. It would appear the the CB&Q welded a piece of sheet metal over the louvers and painted it to match the otherwise stenciled slogan on the side of the locomotive. This is, of course, only of interest to CB&Q fans. Also note that these particular louvers appear to be cut inward to the carbody, whereas all the other louvers are punched outward. This may explain the need for a piece of sheet metal to continue the letter W over the louvers, which on all the other CB&Q locomotives, was simply painted over the louvers.

CB&Q NW2 9207
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9207 and VO-1000 9379 at Clyde, Illinois on November 15, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This NW2 was built in March 1941 (c/n 1288) on EMD Order E376 for 15 NW2's (#'s 9205-9219), among the last switchers built by EMD for the duration of World War II, when on April 4, 1942 the War Production Board (WPB) restricted EMD to building road diesels (the model FT) and model 567 diesel engine blocks for ships and submarines. As a result, when the CB&Q went shopping for more diesel switchers, the WPB assigned Alco S2's (9 - #'s 9300-9308) and Baldwin VO-1000's (30 - #'s 9350-9379). The last CB&Q VO-1000, #9379, built in December 1944 (c/n 71978) is seen here, and was retired in March 1967.
