CB&Q GP7 241
Title:  CB&Q GP7 241
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 241 and crew at Oregon, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. I'm working on crew ID. This was the power for the Oregon Way Freight, which I rode occasionally in 1963 and 1964. It was the last mixed train out of Eola. In place of the usual waycar, this train featured a 40 foot combine number 3003. In addition to serving freight customers between Aurora and Oregon, the way freight also provided passenger accommodations between those two points. On this date I was the only passenger, somewhat irritating to the Conductor ( the gentleman on the far right, "Hummy" Humiston ), who had to fill out additional paperwork for a single passenger.
