CB&Q 4-6-0 Class K-2 655
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-0 Class K-2 655
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-0 Class K-2 655 at Hudson, Colorado on January 25, 1942, photograph by J. Schick, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 655 was built by the Grant Locomotive Works of Cicero, Illinois (previously located in Patterson, New Jersey) in June 1893 as Burlington & Missouri River Railroad 327 (c/n 1810). It was renumbered into the CB&Q system in 1904 as number 655, classed as K-2. The book, Steam Locomotives Of The Burlington Route, shows this locomotive as dismantled in June 1942, the boiler went to another K-2, number 665. The front coupler looks a little odd.

CB&Q 4-6-0 Class K-2 657
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-0 Class K-2 657
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-0 Class K-2 657, date, location, and photographer unknown, print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 657 was built by the Grant Locomotive Works of Cicero, Illinois in June 1893 as Burlington & Missouri River number 329 (c/n 1812) renumbered to CB&Q 657 and classed K-2 in 1904, retired in March 1943. The CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet dated November 1, 1932 shows number 657 assigned to the Ottumwa Division. As it turned out, this was one of the last (if not the last) locomotives constructed by the Grant Locomotive Works. Although 55 locomotives were ordered by the CB&Q, only three were built (#'s B&MR 327, 328, 329, later, CB&Q 655, 656, 657) before a strike at the Works closed the plant. The Works went into receivership and was purchased by the Siemens & Halske Electric Company. The locomotive order was completed under the new ownership, but sold to other railroads.

C&NW 4-6-0 Class R-1 1385
Title:  C&NW 4-6-0 Class R-1 1385
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway 4-6-0 Class R-1 1385 about to cross Roosevelt Road (Route 38) a little west of West Chicago, Illinois on September 8, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Behind the F units was a box car, presumably support equipment for 1385, and gondolas of coal, followed by a few bi-level gallery commuter coaches, and finished by a C&NW business car. Given the situation, I don't see how they provided HEP to the gallery cars.

C&NW 4-6-0 Class R-1 1385
Title:  C&NW 4-6-0 Class R-1 1385
Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway 4-6-0 Class R-1 1385 a little west of Geneva, Illinois on September 8, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I'm not certain, but I believe that the cables between the steam locomotive and diesel allowed the Engineer in 1385 to control the diesels. Anyone know for sure? What little I could find so far states it was an EMD supplied control stand.

Description:  Chicago & North Western Railway 4-6-0 Class R-1 1385 a little west of Geneva, Illinois on September 8, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I believe this was a ferry move to get the train to Boone, Iowa for Kate Shelley Days Excursions.

MP 4-6-0 2306
Title:  MP 4-6-0 2306
Description:  Missouri Pacific Railroad 4-6-0 2306, date, location, and photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. I'm not too sure about the locomotive number, it appears to be hand lettered on both the tender and the smokebox.
