E7A 9922B was subsequently scrapped. She was 19 and obviously not worth the repair expense. E9A 9987A at the right however was returned to service. |

CB&Q E9 9987A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9987A at the Eola Illinois Reclamation Plant on October 11, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 9987A was built in December 1955 (c/n 20537), and was wrecked at Montgomery, Illinois on September 27, 1964. This unit was the third of three E-units (the rear of E7 9922B on the left was the second) leading Train Number 3, which was mis-directed into a standing, detouring Rock Island train and Number 3 struck the Rock Island train at about 52 mph. Four railroad employees were killed. After the wreck was cleaned up and service restored, the wreckage was moved to the Eola Reclamation Plant where it was held for a couple of weeks while the investigation took place. Number 9987A was repaired and returned to service, the other two CB&Q locomoives were scrapped. |

CB&Q E9 9987A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9987A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on May 27, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive had been recently returned to service after wreck repairs, and I believe the whiskers ( nose stripes ) were a darker shade of red that usual. |
