Title:
CB&Q GM-4A 83084
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad gondola Class GM-4A 83084 at the Eola Reclamation Plant on October 11, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q had 590 class GM-4A gondolas (#'s 82550-83139) built in 1957 at the Havelock, Nebraska shops. This one contains the cab of Rock Island's E8 656, the lead unit on the detouring combined Corn Belt Rocket and the Golden State (Train #'s 4 and 10), which was hit by CB&Q's Train #3, mistakenly routed into the standing Rock Island train at Mongomery, Illinois on September 27, 1964. Marty Bernard's recollection of the incident is (at of the time of this post) at this address: http://railfan44.blogspot.com/2014/01/major-passenger-train-wreck-montgomery.html
