| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9994 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 8, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in August 1954 (c/n 19633), this locomotive became BN 9994 on March 2, 1970. It was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District and leased back to the BN on August 18, 1972. It was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen during May 1973, returned as 9924, and was retired July 1992. On the left side of this photo is the East End Way Freight waiting for this Dinky (CB&Q term for commuter train) to clear. The way freight will back onto the main and cross over all three main tracks to work Moser Lumber, then continue east to work the other industries between here and Congress Park, returning to Eola later in the day. |
