If this is not this locomotive's first assignment after leaving the paint shop in its shiny new "redbird" paint scheme, it is one of the first. It was delivered in what was termed the "blackbird" paint scheme by the local crews in September 1951 (c/n 14698), became BN 1590 and was retired in October 1982. Although it is equipped with a steam generator, the intake and exhaust stacks are covered with steel caps to keep out the weather. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 234 westbound on the East End Way Freight at Naperville, Illinois on July 30, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. You may notice some lumber on the locomotive's walkway. This was rejected wood from one of the lumber yards switched by the way freight, either split or warped, that was tossed on a scrap pile. It was "acquired" by one of the crew and placed on the walkway where it would be conveniently spotted near the parked automobile of said crew member when the locomotive was terminated near the the Eola roundhouse at the end of the day. |

CB&Q GP7 234 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 234 at Naperville, Illinois on April 12, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is the returning (westbound) East End Way Freight, the evidence is the waycar (CB&Q term for caboose), #14351, regularly assigned to the East End job. The East End Way Freight worked all the industries between Eola and Congress Park, starting about 7:00 AM and returning (seen here) when the work was completed. Usually it would have a few empties to return to Eola, but not today. The way freight always ran as an extra train, in this case, this train is known as Extra 234 West. |
