New as CBQ 9995 this loco has had a charmed life. IT passed to BN as BN 9995 then got upgraded to an E9AM as BN 9925. After retirement from the west dide Aurora commuter trains, it passed to NERR as its 9925. Acquired for the Music City Star service, it was retired efore entering service. It then went to LTEX but escaped the cutters torch. in such good condition, it was bought for preservation as SLRG 9925 and painted as Iowa Pacific 9925, but still owned by SLRG.

Burlington Northern Railroad E9Am 9925 westbound at Laramie Avenue in Cicero, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q 9995 in August 1954 (c/n 19634) it became BN 9995 on March 2, 1970. It was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District August 18, 1972 and leased back to the BN. During July 1973 it was rebuilt by Morrisdon Knudsen and returned as BN 9925, still leased from the WSMTD under contract with the Regional Transit Authority. It was named, "Jorge Iorgulescu", and continued to operate in commuter service until retired in July 1992. It appears that it later went to the Nashville & Eastern (along with 9910, 9912, 9917) to be used on the proposed commuter service.
