| Previously, the first and only time I'd seen this unique locomntive (the only survivor out of only 11 E5 A-units built, all specifically for CB&Q's Zephyr trains) was when it along with the Nebraska Zephyr trainset ran a weekend of special excursions from Chicago Union Station to Quincy and back on BNSF's ex-CB&Q Mendota Sub in September, 2012. I caught it heading west at Mendota. |
