CB&Q E7 9929B
Title:  CB&Q E7 9929B
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9929B on Train #21, the westbound Twin Cities Zephyr (aka the Morning Zephyr) at Shabbona, Illinois on April 2, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I am a passenger on the Oregon Way Freight, the last mixed train working out of Eola Illinois to Oregon, Illinois and return. The way freight, an extra train (the orders were written to Extra XXX West, where XXX is the locomotive number), worked the industries between Eola and Oregon, and was also the passenger accommodation, allowing passengers rail travel to points where they could board a Zephyr, or between rural communities on the Burlington's Twin Cities route from Chicago to Savanna and the Twin Cities. I rode this train a few times, and recall one time the way freight stopping at a rural crossing to pick up a woman, who paid her fare in homemade chicken sandwiches. She was let off at the next rural crossing. I got one of the sandwiches, which was delicious of course. She made enough sandwiches for the head-end crew to have some too.

CB&Q 130AB
Title:  CB&Q 130AB
Description:  I wrote nothing but the date and "130AB" on the slide, so here is a good guess about what you are looking at. Photo shot from a dome on the westbound Morning Zephyr (the sun reflection is a big hint) somewhere on the CTC single track main east of Savanna and west of Aurora. 130A is in the hole. Since the freight is short and the brakeman is getting on and watching the Zephyr, I assume this is the local morning (Savanna to Eola) freight called the Pick Up done with its work here. I was deadheading to Saint Paul to work Oakland Tower for the Q. I worked as a leverman, operator, and/or station agent for the Q for two summers during college.
