CB&Q E8 9968
Title:  CB&Q E8 9968
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9968 westbound on Train #17, the California Zephyr, at Eola, Illinois on January 8, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1952 (c/n 16709) on EMD Order 2048A, became BN 9968, was sold to Amtrak August 1, 1972 becoming 351, was retired May 28, 1975 and sold for scrap to Naporano Iron & Metal Company, Newark, New Jersey.

On this date the lines of the California Zephyr are interrupted by a Havelock-built baggage car substituting for the usual Budd bagage car. There is an extra flat top coach behind the baggage car, and another flat top coach is between the first two dome cars, indicating that the usual second (of four) dome coaches has been pulled for service. On the left are a few out of service heavyweight coaches which will likely make the journey across the main line to the rails on the far right, the interchange tracks with the EJ&E and the leads to the Eola Reclamation Plant, where most likely they will be cut up and sold for scrap. To the right of the Zephyr is a cut of cars coming off the EJ&E, which passed over the CB&Q just beyond the signal bridge in the background.

On this photo date, the train includes a couple of new Budd gallery coaches in the consist at the head end. The cars were delivered to the CB&Q at Lincoln to avoid Illinois sales tax, and returned to Chicago for revenue service in this manner.

BN 9970 is retired
Title:  BN 9970 is retired
Description:  BN 9970 got the BN touch up paint after the BN merger but couldn't have made more than a handful of trips before BN retired all the E-8A's. Depending on what BN roster of locomotives you subscribe to, the ex-Q E-8's never actually made the BN roster. It appears there were numbers assigned for them but how many made it and for how long is sketchy.

CB&Q E8 9971
Title:  CB&Q E8 9971
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9971 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 13, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiles. This locomotive was built in August 1953 (c/n 18313). Usually, the CB&Q would have attached a power car to this train. The power car was a modified commuter coach with a generator, but in this case certain locomotives were modified to allow some of the power from the locomotive's auxiliary generator to be routed to the coach's lights. The air conditioning was provided by onboard Waukesha engine powered by four propane cylinders on each bilevel coach. The heat was steam. There wasn't a lot of electrical demand in those days.

Title:  CB&Q E8 9971
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9971 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on March 18, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler.

According to the CB&Q Employees Timetable #9 for the Chicago and Aurora Divisions (Effective at 12:01AM CST, Sunday, October 25, 1964), this train did not depart from the Aurora Depot, so it departed directly from the coach yard, arriving)at its first stop, West Eola at 6:40AM, and stopping at Eola at 6:43AM.
