CB&Q E8 9942B         
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9942B on westbound Train #1, the Denver Zephyr, on May 23, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built during March 1950 (c/n 9684), it became BN 9935 on March 2, 1970. It was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District (WSMTD) August 18, 1972 and leased back to the BN. During February 1974, it was rebuilt as E9Am 9900 by Morrison-Knudsen in Boise, Idaho. It was named (in 1978) "Don H. King" and was leased to the BN under contract with the RTA (still owned by the WSMTD) until retired in January 1993. I do not know its final disposition.
