| 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. |
