CB&Q E7 9930A
Title:  CB&Q E7 9930A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9930A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 19, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Sorry about the motion blur, this train snuck up on me. This would have been eastbound Train Number 22, The Morning Zephyr, also known as the Twin Cities Zephyr. However, on this photo date, this was an accommodation train between East Dubuque and Chicago. The Mississippi River had flooded and the tracks at East Dubuque were under water. Most CB&Q through trains to and from the Twin Cities were detoured over the Milwaukee Road. To handle the passengers between Chicago and East Dubuque the CB&Q used available equipment and put together this train which shuttled between the two cities. An interesting side note to this situation; fan trip steam engine 4960 was used in East Dubuque to drag freight cars through the flooded yard in East Dubuque. The water was a foot or two over the rails but not high enough to reach the firebox.

CB&Q E7 9930A
Title:  CB&Q E7 9930A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9930A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 22, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1947 (c/n 4499) on EMD Order E792A for a total of 11 E7's on this order, it became BN 9930 after March 2, 1970 and was traded to EMD for an order of SD45's on September 2, 1970. This unit was equipped with two Vapor Clarkson CFK 4225 steam generators mounted side by side at the rear of the unit, the exhaust stack of one can be seen as the rectangular shape on the roof. Beginning with units 9925A and B, this became the standard on CB&Q passenger power. It is seen here with an eastbound Dinky (commuter train) in tow, with the power car on the east end of the train. Usually, the power cars were at the west end of all the Dinkys.
