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". |
