CB&Q E7 9936A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9936A on Train #1, The Denver Zephyr, at Berwyn, Illinois on June 27, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Also seen in the distance is E8 9943A approaching the Berwyn station. This is a fortunate situation in that I generally took the train from Union Station, thus should have been aboard the approaching Dinky (CB&Q term for commuter train). I happened to be visiting my friend Chris Burritt in Oak Park, and usually would backtrack by riding the CTA elevated train back into Chicago for the connection to the Q and ultimately, back to Naperville where I lived. But I was running late, so I took the bus down to the Berwyn station, where I caught this scene. I thought I could identify each train, but something is amiss in this shot. Looking at a 1965 calendar, this would be Sunday, which makes the Dinky a Sunday only all-stop train. I noted on the slide that the train led by 9936A is the Denver Zephyr. Here's the problem: according to my copy of the Employee's Timetable #10 in effect on this date, Train #1, The Denver Zephyr, departed Union Station at 5:00PM CST, and Train #225, the Sunday Only Dinky, departed at 5:01PM. Furthermore, the Dinky made five stops before arriving at Berwyn at 5:18. So, I am assuming the the DZ is running slightly late, not an unusual occurrence, especially in the summer, when often not only was it late departing, but sometime an overflow crowd of passengers would cause it to run in sections. |

CB&Q E7 9936A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9936A eastbound with Train #10, the Denver Zephyr at Naperville, Illinois on July 30, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1949 (c/n 8917) on EMD Order E1006A, became BN 9922 sometime after Mach 2, 1970, and was sold for scrap to Precision Engineering June 14, 1971. It was delivered with Aluminum painted side panels, and during a shopping, the painted panels were replaced with stainless steel laminate panels. Note that the trailing E7 has the original painted side panels. It was equipped with two steam generators. This is an extreme example of panning (moving the camera) to capture the moving subject. Unfortunately, everything else is blurred. |
