| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9935A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 26, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1949 (c/n 8490) on EMD Order E1006A, it became BN 9919 after March 2, 1970, and was sold for scrap to Precision Engineering of Mount Vernon, Illinois on November 4, 1970. It is seen here leading Train Number 17, the westbound California Zephyr (CZ), the day after Christmas in 1965. Usually the CZ had two locomotives, and the addition of another would indicate extra passengers, and there are two flat top coaches cut in between the baggage car and the first dome. |
