C&S E5 9950A |
| Description: |
C&S E5 9950A, Denver, Colorado, August 26, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built in March 1940 (c/n 1035) on Order E278, retired March 15, 1968 and traded to EMD on an order for SD40's. This was the only E5A built for the C&S, the rest were acquired second hand from parent CB&Q. At the same time, the FW&D acquired its only E5A, 9980A. Both units were lettered for their Zephyr assignment, the Texas Zephyr. This is what became known as a "Phase I" E5, the major differences were in the roof grills, side cab vent, steam generator vents, front pilot/anti-climber/coupler arrangement, and the rear bulkhead ribs. It was named "Silver Racer", and the E5B (#9950B) delivered with it was named "Silver Steed". |

C&S E5 9955 |
| Description: |
Colorado & Southern Railroad E5 9955 at the AT&SF station in Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 19, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q E5 9914A (c/n 1301), named SILVER ARROW, sold to C&S September 20, 1961, traded to EMD March 15, 1968. It is seen here northbound at the AT&SF station with the daily unnamed Train #8 which originated in Houston, Texas the day before, and will terminate in Denver at 6:05 PM, a couple hours from this photo time. Note the gentleman hiding behind the pole to the right, unknown to me but about my age when I shot this photo, probably wishing he had a camera too. |

C&S E5 9955 |
| Description: |
Colorado & Southern Railroad E5 9955 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 19, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is daily unnamed Train 8-28, leaving Dallas at 9:20 PM, stopping at almost every station between Dallas and Denver, arriving at Colorado Springs at 4:20 PM the next day, finally arriving in Denver at 6:05 PM, almost 22 hours after starting out. This locomotive was built as CB&Q 9914A and was involved in a collision with a crawler (IHC Model TD-18 TracTracTor weighing 23,945 pounds) that had just slipped off a flat car of a freight train passing in the opposite direction. The collision happened at Downers Grove, Illinois on April 3, 1947. The 9914A was the single locomotive powering Train No. 24 consisting of seven cars and was moving at approximately 70 mph at the point of collision. Upon impact the tractor was destroyed, the rear locomotive coupler was pulled out, the locomotive separated from its train and continued upright for 470 feet before hitting the Downers Grove passenger platform where it turned over on its right side, fatally injuring the Engineer. Meanwhile the passenger cars continued to roll and crashed into the station. Although the locomotive was extensively damaged, it was repaired and returned to service. |

C&S E5 9955 |
| Description: |
Colorado & Southern Railway E5 9955 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 19, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q 9914A (c/n 1301) on EMD Order E377-A , named SILVER ARROW, it was sold to C&S September 20, 1961, traded to EMD March 15, 1968. It is seen here at the head of northbound unnamed Train #8, having left Houston, Texas the previous afternoon at 3:00 PM, due in Denver at 6:05 PM. After the C&S discontinued passenger service in 1967, the C&S E5's were pressed into freight service, but were ill suited for slow drag freights and burned up traction motors quickly. Note the retractable front coupler and buffer seen in the extended position. When retracted the coupler was covered with doors, since removed, and because it took 85 complete revolutions of the hand crank to fully extend or retract the coupler, in later years it was left in the extended position. |

C&S E5 9955 |
| Description: |
Colorado & Southern Railway E5 9955 at Larkspur, Colorado on an unknown day in October 1967, Kodachrome by H. C. Crist, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as CB&Q 9914A (named Silver Arrow) in June 1941 (c/n 1301) on EMD Order E377, it was sold to the C&S September 20, 1961, becoming C&S 9955, and was traded in on an order of SD40's on March 15, 1968. It is seen here in freight service after the C&S and FW&D discontinued passenger service in 1967. The following is from the Burlington Route Historical Society's Burlington Bulletin 10, The E's, edited by Hol Wagner: In their final months of service on the C&S, the last of the E5's were used, rather unsuccessfully, in freight service over the Joint Line between Denver and Pueblo. This line includes a steep grade in both directions to the divide at Palmer Lake, and even though the former Q E5's had been geared down, the graceful units were still high speed passenger power. Running in five and six-unit sets, the now filthy stainless steel speedsters were forced to double the hill up to Palmer Lake with 30-35 cars at a time. And still they fell well below their continuous rated speed of 29 mph, so traction motors, and even main generators, were burned up at a frightening pace. This indignity lasted only a couple of months (September 21 to November 10, 1967), because it served to render nearly all of the units inoperable. |
