| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9993 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q Employees Timetable No. 10 had just gone into effect on Sunday, April 25, 1965, as had Daylight Savings Time, giving me the opportunity to capture the Dinkys in better light. I walked east about two miles from Naperville toward Lisle, and started back, photographing each Dinky as it passed by. Starting around 3:00 PM and continuing until around 7:00 PM, the Burlington would dispatch about 17 Dinkys, the California Zephyr, and the Denver Zephyr past this spot, and a few eastbound trains would also pass by, but the light was not right for eastbound photography. My goal was to photograph two westbound Dinkys side by side at 60 mph, which sometimes happened here if one or the other was slightly off schedule. |
