| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9937A eastbound on Train 2, the Galesburg Local, on April 1, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This train made all the station stops between Galesburg and Aurora. Attached to the rear of the train is car 100, CB&Q President Harry C. Murphy's private car. Train 2 does not appear in the CB&Q Employees Timetable No. 8, which became effective Sunday April 26, 1964, so I assume this train was discontinued 25 days after this photo was taken. This locomotive was built March 1949 (c/n 8919), became BN 9924 on March 2, 1970, sold for scrap April 26, 1972. |
