CB&Q GP30 962
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy railroad GP30 962 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on January 28, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in July 1962 (c/n 27173) on EMD Order 7621, it became BN 2239 and was retired in August 1982. It would appear that the numberboard on the fireman's side has been replaced. The font is wider and does not match the style on the engineer's side, and it looks like the letter Z has been pressed into service as the number 2.

CB&Q NW1 9201 and GP-30 964
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW1 9201 and GP30 964 at Clyde, Illinois, on June 27, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler Number 9201 was built by Electro-Motive Corporation (EMC) in December 1937 (c/n 776), and traded to EMD in July 1965 for a SW-1200. It is one of 27 NW1s built, and two were owned by the CB&Q. The NW1 was powered by a 900 hp Winton 201A V-12 diesel prime mover coupled to a GE main generator driving four GE traction motors. By 1930, EMC and the Winton Engine Company had become subsidiaries of General Motors. The spotting feature of the NW1 is the side vents at the top of the hood at the radiator end. The N in NW indicates Nine hundred horsepower, and the W indicates a Welded frame. This locomotive could be ordered with a Cast frame, producing a NC1, and could also come with Westinghouse electrical gear.

CB&Q GP30 971
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP30 971 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on February 6, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in May 1963 (c/n 28293) on EMD Order 7652, it became BN 2248 and was retired in January 1985. Eight GP30's were built on EMD Order 7652 (#'s 970-977), and they were Phase II GP30's. At the request of the UP, EMD added a 10 inch cab extension on this side (the left, or Fireman's side) to better accommodate the crew, thus creating a Phase II GP30. The spotting feature of the extended cab is the lack of a stanchion behind the cab at the bend in the handrail. Complete GP30 Phase rosters can be found in the July 1989 Mainline Modeler Magazine, page 53. Note the second freight car in the consist is a tri-level auto rack loaded with new automobiles, to which the CB&Q is applying a liberal coat of diesel exhaust.

CB&Q GP30 971 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois, June 7, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Judging by the shadows, it appears to be around Noon. That being the case, according to CB&Q Employees Timetable #10, this is Train #88, the daily Minnesota and Dakota Time Freight, due in Cicero at 12:30 PM CST. The trailing GP20 is 909, I couldn't make out the last GP20's number.

CB&Q GP30 974
Description:
CB&Q GP30 974 eastbound at East Eola, Illinois, January 1, 1966. Here's a story from Karl Rethwisch: If you're familiar with the westbound and eastbound yards at Eola Im sure youve noticed the "mirror" effect. Flipped 180 deg. on their long axis each yd. would be a near duplicate of the other. When workin the west yd alls as it should be, that is, the engine faces east, the lead is on the Engrs side, the Switchman is visible to the Engr and everyone has a good time. Now, lets work the EAST yd and compare. The engine faces east, the lead is on the Firemans side, the Switchman is nowhere within the Engrs sight and few (Engineers that is) have a good time. To accommodate the "backward" lead a three color light signal was installed on the south side of trk. 11. This track is roughly in line with the lead before the lead (ladder track) bends to the north. A Switchman is stationed in a metal shack adjacent to trk. 11 built especially for this purpose. In the shack are controls for the signal displays, a stove, paper, coal and a chair. When the Swman on the lead is ready to switch cars he lines the desired sw. and gives a "KICK" sign to the guy in the shack. Obligingly, the guy causes the GREEN light to display and the Engr "pulls er tail out" (throttle WIDE OPEN!!). After receiving a STOP signal from the guy on the lead the fella in the shack displays a RED signal and the Engr shuts the throttle and applies the brakes. Wanna BACK UP?, just light the yellow and green lights at the same time and viola, she go backward. Sounds simple and, if everything and everyBODY works as designed, it IS. This may be a good time to inject a small note as it relates ta KICKIN. A good Engr. will kick until a stop sign is given by someone on the ground. Since the Engr has no idea where or how far the car(s) are goin he relies solely on the signals he receives from the ground. Switchin 101. Now, lets assume things are workin in a NORMAL manner, that is, the gent in the shack is distracted, tired or hung-over. As a result of any of the aforementioned malady's this gentleman may, on occasion, fail to take note of a signal being vigorously given by the guy on the lead. This oversight, however, usually occurs only when the signal being given is a STOP signal. Seems the SHOVE, BACK-UP or KICK sign is never overlooked, just the STOP signal. Fred Huntley is workin the east yd with his Fireman, D. L. McLaughlin. The signal was installed to accommodate an engine without a Fireman and was used even WITH a Fireman. On this particular evening switchin was progressin nicely and Fred was runnin the eng. Don said that a pause in the action was an occasion seized upon by Fred to load and fire up one of his many pipes. Soon after gettin the pipe workin the switchin resumed. Back up, stop, KICK, stop, back up and so on. This went on for a while till, on one signal ta KICK and Fred got er goin real good, Don began ta think, this is one hell of a kick! Well, it WAS one hell of a kick. Seems the fella in the shack, AFTER puttin up the GREEN light, took a short snooze. Soon, as might be expected, the whole shebang came to a BRUTAL stop, even WITHOUT a RED light displayed. A track with a bunch of inert cars makes a HELL of a bumpin post! As happens so many times in similar events, the eng crew was violently unseated and hurled against the front cab windows (no seat belts). Don impacted the window vigorously and Fred, after bouncing off the control stand, did likewise. Don, after recovering his composure, went over ta check on Fred who was still in the process of extricating himself from the various things that one finds on the Engrs side. Dang, the bowl of Fred's pipe was pushed right up to his lips. This situation could be pretty rough on a guy's throat one would think. It probably would have been too if Fred had not been smokin' a CURVED STEM pipe at the time. Unlike the litigious crowds of today no lawsuit or lost time just a "conversation" with the guy in the shack.

CB&Q GP30 977
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP30 977 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on November 29, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. This was the last GP30 delivered to the CB&Q, built September 1963 (c/n 28299). It became Burlington Northern 2254. By the date of this photo, it was 2 months old. Sorry for the lousy photo. I shot this when I was 15, with my mom's cast off Pentax Rangefinder camera, and I could only afford black and white film. And the date of November 29, 1963 is conjecture, I dated the entire roll of film as November 30, but on the same roll of film is a shot of EMD's official demo train consisting of GP35 5652, a DD35, EMD's former B-unit Test Car, another DD35, and another GP35, passing this very point, but running in the other direction. I'm pretty sure this DD35 was part of that demonstrator train. I've put out a couple of inquires to try to figure this photo out. It would appear (speculation) that the Q tested a DD35, but most likely concluded it would not suit their needs. In theory, a single locomotive of 5000 hp was cheaper to maintain than two 2500 hp locomotives. In practice, railroads tended to look at it as taking two GP35's out of service when only one of them was broken. Anyway, the CB&Q never rostered a DD35.
