Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9974 and E9 9989B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on March 12, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. On the left is E8 9974 leading Train No. 108 stopping at most of the local stations between Naperville and Chicago, arriving at Union Station at 7:46AM. On the right is E9 9989B (the last E-unit delivered to the CB&Q) leading Train No. 110, skipping all the local stations after Lisle and Belmont, stopping next at Cicero, then all the local stations until arriving in Union Station at 7:35AM. Both are daily except Saturday and Sunday Dinkys (commuter trains). The primary purpose of Train No. 110 was to transport the west suburban employees of Western Electric to work, who's plant was located close to the Cicero station. The time is approximately 6:52AM, No. 108 is scheduled to stop at Naperville at 6.53AM, and No. 110 is due at 6:51AM.

Description:  CB&Q E8 9974 and E9 9989B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois, March 12, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. It was unusual for the two trains pictured to pause long enough for me to get two photos, here is the second shot. On the left is E8 9974 leading Train #108 stopping at most of the local stations between Naperville and Chicago, arriving at Union Station at 7:46AM. On the right is E9 9989B (the last E-unit delivered to the CB&Q) leading Train #110, skipping all the local stations after Lisle and Belmont, stopping next at Cicero, then all the local stations until arriving in Union Station at 7:35AM.

Title:  CB&Q E9 9989A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9989A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on March 22, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in January 1956 (c/n 20541) on EMD Order 2071A for 10 E9's, this was the Burlington's last order of passenger locomotives. This unit went on to become BN 9989, and during April 1973 was rebuilt to BN 9919, became BN-3, was retired in 1997, and now resides at the Illinois Railway Museum. It is seen here leaving town with Train #110 in tow at approximately 6:52 AM. In the background is Train #108, headed by E8 9977, just arriving to pick up passengers.

Title:  CB&Q #9989A
Description:  A trio of E Units, led by E9A #9989A, are the power for a passenger train, which is interesting in that it has a heavyweight baggage-RPO, but no full baggage-express car, and a single dome. Scanned with an Epson V550 from a duplicate 35mm slide, brand is unknown. Photographer is unknown; date, month, and year are approximate.

Number 9989B had the distinction of being the last E unit delivered to the Burlington (c/n 20542, built in January 1956) so it was the youngest member of the passenger locomotive fleet, or, the baby.

Title:  CB&Q E9 9990
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9990 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 24, 1965, Koadchrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in July 1954 (c/n 19629) on EMD Order 2065A, it became BN 9990. On August 18, 1972 it was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District, and during June 1973 it was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen to E9Am 9920, and leased back to the BN. It was retired in 1992 and is on display at Keller, Texas. It is seen here 27 miles from Union Station, showing a replacement cover for the MU plug on the engineer's side.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9990 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on August 10, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The days of the single level green commuter coaches (class PA-14) are numbered. Two new bi-level gallery cars are at the back of this train, and as deliveries continue from Budd, the PA-14's will all be retired by the end of the 1960's. Some will continue to survive in MOW service into the BN era.

CB&Q E9 9991
Title:  CB&Q E9 9991
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad EE9 9991 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on March 9, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. A baggage car was unusual for a Dinky (commuter train). In this case, the baggage car was added to deliver newspaper supplements to various news agencies along the Burlington. Usually this happened on a Wednesday or Thursday. One of my first employment opportunities in Naperville was as a newspaper boy, and part of my job was to stuff the Sunday newpapers with these supplements, generally the advertising pages, magazines, and the funny papers.

CB&Q E9 9991
Title:  CB&Q E9 9991
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9991 heading an eastbound Dinky at Naperville on Illinois, April 19, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q E9 9991 ( c/n 19630 on EMD Order 2065 ) it became BN 9991 on 3/2/70. Sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District ( WSMTD ) 8/18/72, rebuilt to E9-Au by Morrison Knudsen 5/73, returned to WSMTD as 9921 and leased to the BN.

Note the last porthole window is painted silver. The EMD on-board toilet was at this location, so this may have been a privacy issue. My best guess is that a crew man was dealing with the call of nature and happened to be caught in the process by a passing passenger train, probably while both trains were stopped in a station. The Burlington took their passenger complaints very seriously. I was also informed that it was no pleasure for shop crews to change the brake shoes on the trailing truck at the location of the toilet discharge pipe.

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9991 on Train 21, the Morning Zephyr, aka the Twin Cities Zephyr, at Aurora, Illinois on September 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This train will need to clear the circuit before my train can arrive. I got up early to catch a Dinky from Naperville to Aurora so I could ride a railfans special to West Burlington to see 4-8-4 5632 being overhauled, a job never completed. My train was pulled by a pair of E9's, we (the railfans) hoped it would be 2-8-2 4960. Somewhere I still have my Menk The Fink button, worn by many fans on the trip to express displeasure with the new CB&Q president Louis Menk's decision to discontinue the steam program, and 5632 was sold mid-overhaul to Dick Jensen and ultimately scrapped.

CB&Q E8 9973
Title:  CB&Q E8 9973
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9973 and E9 9992 at Naperville, Illinois on August 11, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. On the left 9973 was bringing a Dinky to a station stop at Naperville, and on the right 9992 was passing with Train Number 1, the Denver Zephyr, on the first 28 miles of its overnight run to Denver 1034 miles west of Union Station in Chicago. Hard to believe, but this was a daily occurrence at 6:30 PM in Naperville during the 1960's.

CB&Q E9 9992
Title:  CB&Q E9 9992
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9992 backing into the station at Saint Paul, Minnesota on February 5, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I have the slide labeled as Train 21, the Morning Zephyr. If that is correct, then this train is arriving at St. Paul. Train 21 left Chicago at 8:00 AM CST every day, arriving at St. Paul at 2:25 PM. This locomotive became BN 9992 on March 2, 1970. Around May 1973, 9992 was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen in Boise Idaho, the 12-cylinder Model 567 prime movers were replaced with 12-cylinder Model 645's, the steam generators were replaced with twin Cummins 350Kw generators for Head End Power (HEP), and it returned to BN rails now owned by the West Suburban Mass Transit District as E9-Au 9922, and was leased back to the BN. It ran in commuter service until July 1992.

CB&Q E9 9993
Title:  CB&Q E9 9993
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9993 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The CB&Q Employees Timetable No. 10 had just gone into effect on Sunday, April 25, 1965, as had Daylight Savings Time, giving me the opportunity to capture the Dinkys in better light. I walked east about two miles from Naperville toward Lisle, and started back, photographing each Dinky as it passed by. Starting around 3:00 PM and continuing until around 7:00 PM, the Burlington would dispatch about 17 Dinkys, the California Zephyr, and the Denver Zephyr past this spot, and a few eastbound trains would also pass by, but the light was not right for eastbound photography. My goal was to photograph two westbound Dinkys side by side at 60 mph, which sometimes happened here if one or the other was slightly off schedule.
