Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9976 eastbound at Eola, Illinois on July 17, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Although this unit was not (at this date) equipped with HEP, it was able to power the two cars it pulls as a result of a modification by the CB&Q shops to allow the auxiliary generators of the locomotive to power the lights. The coaches were heated with steam, and the air conditioning was powered by propane Waukesha engines on each coach. |
