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. |

CB&Q E9 9987A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9987A at the 14th Street Zephyr Pit in Chicago, Illinois on March 7, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was the only CB&Q survivor of a head-on collision at Montogmery, Illinois in 1964. It was the third unit of a three unit set of locomotives that collided with a detouring Rock Island passenger train. The first two CB&Q locomotives were E7's and the lead unit was destroyed beyond repair, and the second was deemed uneconomical to repair. |

CB&Q E9 9987A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9987A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on May 27, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive had been recently returned to service after wreck repairs, and I believe the whiskers ( nose stripes ) were a darker shade of red that usual. |

| Description: |
Passing Dunn @the east end of St Paul Yard on the Milwaukee Road and Dayton's Bluff on Burlington- "Running with the current of traffic" meaning east on the Eastward track along highway 61 between Oakland and the dispatcher @Newport--- this was joint double track with the Rock Island having trackage rights west of Newport to St Paul. It was left hand running because of the climb up and out of the Mississippi River valley west of St Croix Tower near Hastings, Minnesota on the Milwaukee and Prescott, Wisconsin on the Burlington--- where the St Croix river joins the mighty Mississippi on its way to New Orleans!!! |
