Title:
CB&Q E8 9949A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9949A westbound a little east of Naperville, Illinois on April 27, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Golf anyone? About two to three miles behind this location was the station at Lisle, and there was about ten miles to the next station at Npaerville. So this was generally a location where the hogger could haul back on the throttle and see what the locomotive could do. Just after Naperville was another ten miles or so to Aurora where the same test was possible sometimes at three digit speed.

CB&Q E8 9949A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9949A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1950 (c/n 11762) on EMD Order 2023A, it became BN 9949, was sold to Amtrak August 1, 1972 becoming AMTK 343, was retired May 25, 1975 and sold for scrap to Precision National. According to CB&Q Chicago and Aurora Divisions Employees Timetable No. 10, in effect on this date, gallery cars were restricted to a maximum speed of 75 mph, and this train is likely in that neighborhood as he approaches his stop at Naperville, about a half mile down the track.

CB&Q E8 9949A
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9949A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on May 27, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Here's a friendly wave from Train #48, the Black Hawk, which also had parts of Northern Pacific's Train #2, The Mainstreeter, and Great Northern's Train #28, The Western Star. The Western Star arrived at Minneapolis early enough to allow passengers to transfer to CB&Q's Train #24, the Afternoon Zephyr, which departed Minneapolis at 2:50 PM CST, for a quicker arrival in Chicago at 9:55 PM CST, but there was not enough time to allow transfer of the rolling stock, which arrived on this train the next morning at 6:40 AM CST. The Mainstreeter's passengers were not as fortunate, and arrived on this train. This combined operation began in 1955 and ended in 1970.
