CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1-A 2804
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1-A 2804
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-1-A 2804 at Denver, Colorado on September 24, 1938, photograph by Richard Kindig, print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 2804 was built by Baldwin in May 1906 ( c/n 28281 ) as a class S-1, rebuilt in 1926 as a class S-1-A, and sold for scrap in March 1954. The following is from the Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin 13, SHOVELNOSES, edited by F. Hol Wagner: When the diesels failed, steam frequently came to the rescue. But first, the coupler pocket and air hose covers had to be removed from the pilot of the shovelnose unit, and hoses and coupler (carried in the cab) installed before the rescue engine could be coupled up. In this instance, S-1-A Pacific 2804 drags ailing 9907A and B and an 11-car DZ (Denver Zephyr) into Denver on September 24, 1938, an hour and 16 minutes late. A broken water pump was the culprit here, disrupting the functioning of the lead motor's cooling system.

CB&Q 4-6-2 S-1 2806
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 S-1 2806
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 class S-1 2806 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime in 1906, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built in 1906 by Baldwin (c/n 28298), one of the first Pacific-types on the Burlington Route. It was rebuilt to S-1-A in 1926 and retired September 1939. The following is from the book, Steam Locomotives Of The Burlington Route, by Bernard G. Corbin and William F. Kerka: The Class S-1 Baldwin-built Pacifics were a direct development of the R-5 Prairies. Thirty S-1 engines, No. 2800-2829, made their appearance on the road in 1906, followed by fifteen Schenectady-built engines, No. 2830-2844 in 1907. The boilers of the S-1 types were similiar to the R-5 Prairies, except that the tube length was increased by 24". Although the driving wheel diameter was increased to 74" on the S-1 engines, the cylinders as well as the driving and trailing wheel axle journals were of the same dimensions as the R-5. This permitted interchangability of parts in the machinery and running gear of the Pacifics and Prairie-type engines. During the mid-1920's, the great majority of the S-1 and S-2 locomotives were rebuilt and reclassed as S-1A and S-2A respectively. Among the changes made during this rebuilding period were the application of new cylinders and accessories, new main frames and frame crossties, application of Schmidt-type superheater, new tube sheets and tubes to suit the superheater, new Walschaerts valve gear, new steam pipes, new front deck plate, application of cross-compound air pumps, new main axles and main driving boxes, and the application of either Worthington or Elesco feedwater heating systems. Some of the rebuilt engines were fitted with Delta-B trailing trucks having Franklin boosters. Most of the tenders on the S-1A and S-2A engines were also rebuilt, and four-wheel Commonwealth trucks were substituted for the pedestal type. Some of the Pacifics spent their last days in suburban service around the Chicago area. By the end of 1950 just about all had been retired.

CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1-A 2813
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1-A 2813
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 class S-1-A 2813 on September 27, 1953, location and photographer unknown, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Although the location is unknown, it was assigned to the Chicago Division as of the February 1, 1952 CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet, and the hill in the background looks like the Savanna area. Number 2813 was built by Baldwin in June 1906 ( c/n 28402 ) as a class S-1, rebuilt by the CB&Q in 1928 to class S-1-A, and sold for scrap in October 1953. There's a flag in the front coupler, it's dark, so either blue or red.

CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1-A 2814
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1-A 2814
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 class S-1-A 2814, date, location, and photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. The June 1, 1935 CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet shows this locomotive assigned to the Casper Division, it was an oil burner, a characteristic of Lines West locomotives. The main and eccentric rods are removed, it's likely awaiting scrapping, so I picked Denver as the location and 1951 as the date. Number 2814 was built by Baldwin in June 1906 as a class S-1 ( c/n 28412 ) rebuilt by the CB&Q in 1927 to a class S-1-A, sold for scrap in February 1951.

There's water gushing over the back of the tender, and a gentleman loading coal, so my guess is that they're getting ready to go somewhere.

CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1 2829
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-1 2829
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-1 2829 presumed at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on an unknown date in 1906, photograph by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 2829 was built by Baldwin in January 1907 ( c/n 30011 ) as a Class S-1, rebuilt in 1927 to Class S-1-A, sold for scrap in January 1951. I must apologize for the quality of the photo. I usually clean these scans up, but this one was too far gone. In the 1980's you could purchase prints from Baldwin negatives from H. L. Broadbelt, and they were of excellent quality, to the point that you could read the number on the builder's plate. However, this one came to me like this, so I presumed that the Baldwin negative was damaged. I took a run at cleaning it up (below the trailing truck on the turntable) but it would take a long time to make this presentable. So I'm uploading as-is, maybe at a future date I can replace it.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-1 2850 presumed at Philadephhia, Pennsylvania sometime in 1909, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 2850 was built by Baldwin in 1909 (c/n 33446), rebuilt in 1924, retired in February 1951 and sold for scrap. It was part of an order for 25 modified Class S-1 4-6-2's (#'s 2845-2869). The first Class S-1's were based on the R-5 2-6-2's, this order substituted Walschaerts valve gear for Stephenson valve gear, although the cylinder piston valves were still located inside. During the mid-1920's, the majority of the S-1's were rebuilt and re-classed as S-1-A. Among the changes during this rebuilding were the application of new cylinders and accessories, new main frames and frame crossties, application of Schmidt-type superheater, new tube sheets and tubes to suit the superheater, new Walschaerts valve gear, new steam pipes, new front deck plate, application of cross-compound air pumps, new main axles and main driving boxes, and the application of either Worthington or Elesco feedwater heating systems. Some of the rebuilt engines were fitted with Delta-B trailing trucks having Franklin boosters. Most of the tenders were also rebuilt, and four-wheel Commonwealth trucks were substituted for the pedestal type.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 class S-1-A 2858, date, location, and photographer unknown, print by Don Gruber, Chuck Zeiler collection. Although the location is not marked on the print, it's a good guess that this was the suburban coach yard in Downers Grove, Illinois. The selected date is based on the CB&Q Locomotive Assignment Sheet dated February 1, 1952. Number 2858 was built by Baldwin in 1909 (c/n 33472) rebuilt by the CB&Q in 1926 to class S-1-A, sold for scrap in September 1953. The extra plumbing and device by the front cab wall was a steam turbo-generator for train lighting.

The selected date and location based on my best guess, the locomotive appears to be fitted with a Curtis turbo-generator for suburban train lighting, and if so, this would likely be the Downers Grove, Illinois suburban coach yard. Number 2864 was built by Baldwin in 1909 (c/n 33490), rebuilt by CB&Q in 1926 to a class S-1-A, sold for scrap in March 1951.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-2 2912 at an unknown location on an unknown date, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. Once upon a time you could purchase steam locomotive prints from a gentleman named Herbert L. Broadbelt. This was one of those photos, an unusual action photo in the Baldwin Locomotive Works negative collection (note the negative number in the lower right). It was undated and no location was noted. I roughed in Denver as the location because it looks like a major terminal, but does not look like Chicago. It could be Galesburg, Burlington, Omaha, or Kansas City, I don't know. Leave a comment if you know better. The date is also roughed in based on the build date (1910, c/n 34589), all steel cars pictured, a photo in the book, Steam Locomotives of the Burlington Route, which shows this locomotive in 1933 with a different (Sunbeam, I believe) headlight in commuter service. Number 2912 was not rebuilt, but was retired in June 1935. It was one of fifty S-2's built by Baldwin for the CB&Q, assigned road numbers 2900-2949.

Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. The print was marked : Mail Train, Bissell, MO c. 1941. I could not find Bissell, MO, but did find Bigelow, MO and it was on the CB&Q, so that's what I chose. Number 2923 was built by Baldwin in 1910 (c/n 34686) as a class S-2, rebuilt by the CB&Q in 1927 to class S-2-A, sold for scrap in January 1951.

CBQ 4-6-2 #2951 - Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Title:  CBQ 4-6-2 #2951 - Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Description:  Here is a 1915 Baldwin built Pacific (class S-3) sitting in the afternoon sun with its Art Deco style tender. It had tall 74" drivers, developed a 200 psi boiler pressure for its 27"x28" cylinders and had an engine weight of 278,600 lb. It could apply a tractive effort of 46,892 lb> According to SteamLocomotives website, "They represented a revamped Pacific design with a new shorter boiler, combustion chamber, and brick arch. Other improvements were lighter, heat-treated steel alloy reciprocating parts, hollow-bore piston rods and crank pins, and the Laird suspended crosshead, Ragonnet power reverser, and eventually a Worthington or Elesco feedwater heater."

CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-3 2960
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-3 2960
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-3 2960 on Train #9 at Sand Creek, Colorado on June 11, 1939, photograph by Jackson Thode, Chuck Zeiler collection. I'm hoping that Larkspur is close to Sand Creek, which is how the print is marked. Number 2960 was built by Baldwin in 1915 (c/n 42160) and sold for scrap in July 1952. At some point it acquired a Worthington feedwater heater, it wasn't delivered with one. Fifteen Class S-3 Pacific types were built by Baldwin in 1915 (road #'s 2950-2964) and an additional ten were built in 1918 (road #'s 2965-2974). Additionally, in 1922 two more S-3 design locomotives were built for the FW&DC (road #'s 556-557) and three for the C&S (road #'s 373-375, class F-3C). The C&S also acquired (around 1936) CB&Q 2970, 2973, and 2965, becoming C&S 370, 371, and 372 respectively, classed F-3B. The three Class F-3C locomotives built for the C&S had 69 inch drivers (as opposed to the 74 inch drivers on the CB&Q locomotives), which were better suited to C&S grades and resulted in a tractive force increase from the stock 42,400 lb. to 44,000 lb.. .

This appears to be a mixed train aand my guess is that 2969 was sent to rescue the train after road failure of the locomotive pictured behind the first two box cars. Pacific type 2969 was built by Baldwin in 1918 (c/n 48674) and was sold for scrap in July 1958.

This was the final Pacific type delivered by Baldwin to the CB&Q. Number 2974 was built in 1918 (c/n 49075) and sold for scrap in August 1951. Two unsubstantiated observations; it appears to be an oil burner, I don't believe it was delivered that way, and it appears to have an extended smokebox, possibly indicating that it was once a lignite coal burner.
