CB&Q 9985A
Title:  CB&Q 9985A
Description:  White building in distance was the Pepperidge Farm grain receiving room. A grain car can be seen next to it. Many of my way freight pictures were taken working that siding. The EB dinky was half way between the Westmont and Fairview Ave. (far distance in photo) commuter stations. When a short train was needed the green cars were no doubt left in the Chicago or Aurora yards/station.

CB&Q E9 9985A
Title:  CB&Q E9 9985A
Description:  CB&Q E9 9985A westbound on Train #11, the Nebraska Zephyr, the daily Chicago to Lincoln, Nebraska mail train, at Naperville, Illinois, January 16, 1966, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in December 1955 (c/n 20533) on EMD Order 2071, became BN 9985 after the March 2, 1970 merger, was remanufactured by Morrison-Knudsen in November 1973, returning numbered BN 9915 (owned by the West Suburban Mass Transit District and leased to the BN), retired in 1992, becoming NYS&W 2402. The following is excerpted from the book, Chicago Union Station, by Edward M. DeRouin (Pixels Publishing):

The economies of the 1950's drove the Burlington, among others, to consolidate schedules to reduce operating costs. Effective February 1, 1958, the Nebraska Zephyr and Coloradoan ran as one train. After October 28, 1962, the cars of the Kansas City Zephyr were included in the consist. They were removed at Galesburg and continued their trip to Kansas City (as Train #35). The primary purpose of the Coloradoan was to bring mail and express to Council Bluffs and the Union Pacific for forwarding to places like Salt Lake City and Oakland. A secondary chore was to carry storage mail to Denver. Now those cars were tucked in between the power and passenger cars of the two Zephyrs. Shortly after 9:00 AM, a switch engine would shove the articulated cars of the Nebraska Zephyr, the four cars of the Kansas City Zephyr, and cars filled with express to the (Chicago Union Station, CUS) depot. After setting the consist on the station track, the engine would then add two RPOs pulled from station track 14 and move on to other work. After finishing breakfast at the Zephyr Diner, the engine crew prepared their locomotives and when the switches were lined, proceeded west to Union Avenue. Once on the main, the locomotives reversed and headed for CUS. Before reaching the depot, the units were lined for station track 32, where storage cars filled with mail were picked up. Once the steam and air lines were hooked up and brakes tested, the locomotives and mail proceeded south past the Harrison Street Tower. Burlington 11's final preparatory move with a switchman, referred to as a Pilot, qualified to control backup moves at CUS, in place on the station end of the head end cars, and controlled the automatic brake with a hose and valve assembly referred to as a monkey tail (because of its shape). Upon receipt of the proper signal, the Pilot would draw off some air, and the Engineer would 'shove on reduction'. This procedure held slack in check. The movement was stopped before making the coupling and the monkey tail removed. Hand signals guided the last movement, and with people boarding, postal clerks working in the RPOs, and mail handlers loading the storage cars, the coupling had to be, and was, gentle. After the steam and air lines were made, the standing brake test was conducted and Number 11 was ready for departure at 11:00 AM.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9986B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on March 11, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Of course even as a 17 year old I would not be out in this weather unless there was good reason, and in this case, this train overshot the station, set off the gates at Loomis Street, was in the process of backing against traffic to load at Naperville, and gave me time to grab my camera. No doubt an embarassing situation for the Engineer.

CB&Q E9 9986B
Title:  CB&Q E9 9986B
Description:  CB&Q E9 9986B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 18, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is speculation: I believe this is eastbound Train #30, departing Aurora 7:01 AM, due in Chicago 7:50 AM. It was known as the Ak-Sar-Ben Zephyr, which is Nebraska spelled backward. It left Lincoln, Nebraska at 9:00 PM. About a half dozen cars back is a new suburban bi-level coach, likely being ferried from Lincoln to Chicago for assignment to the suburban department. As I understand it, the CB&Q received new deliveries in Lincoln to avoid paying Illinois sales tax. I will also speculate that this was not the lead locomotive when this train departed Lincoln, based on the open MU plug access door to the left of the upper headlight, and the attached MU hoses. Generally, the CB&Q removed the MU hoses from the lead locomotive because there was no provision to retain them to prevent them from flying around and banging against the pilot, not only creating noise, but also chipping the paint.

CBQ 9986 (with green class lamps?!)
Title:  CBQ 9986 (with green class lamps?!)
Description:  Just out of the St Paul Union Depot which served 8 different railroads & had 23 tracks--- leaving Division Street on the CB&Q & approaching Hoffman Avenue on the Milwaukee--- four CB&Q E8/ E9 passenger engines have the combined Morning Zephyr & the GN Empire Builder with NP North Coast Limited as a second section of the same schedule soon to follow, headed on its way down the upper Mississippi River valley to LaCrosse & Chicago!!! The Burlington ran on the Wisconsin side of the river & the Milwaukee Road ran on Minnesota side, with the Milwaukee Hiawathas & Burlington Zephyrs racing & chasing each other up & down the river valley between St Croix Tower, Minnesota & La Crosse, Wisconsin. The joint track passenger mains were left hand running and the Milwaukee Road freight mains were right hand running!!! Today it is all CTC, the interlocking towers where I once worked & the roundhouse @ Dayton's Bluff are long gone & the glory that was the St. Paul Union Depot is now a parking lot!!! Most people today have no idea of what was once here & the different railroads that ran & interchanged cars between themselves!!!

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9987A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on May 19, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. On Sunday evenings, the Burlington would run a few dozen E units from Chicago to Aurora on the Dinkys (commuter trains) to get ready for Monday morning's rush hour. On Friday evenings, the process would be reversed to get the E units into Chicago for rotation into Zephyr service.

CB&Q E9 9987A
Title:  CB&Q E9 9987A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9987A at the Eola Illinois Reclamation Plant on October 11, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 9987A was built in December 1955 (c/n 20537), and was wrecked at Montgomery, Illinois on September 27, 1964. This unit was the third of three E-units (the rear of E7 9922B on the left was the second) leading Train Number 3, which was mis-directed into a standing, detouring Rock Island train and Number 3 struck the Rock Island train at about 52 mph. Four railroad employees were killed. After the wreck was cleaned up and service restored, the wreckage was moved to the Eola Reclamation Plant where it was held for a couple of weeks while the investigation took place. Number 9987A was repaired and returned to service, the other two CB&Q locomoives were scrapped.
