Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9939B westbound on Train #17 at Naperville, Illinois on April 26, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Almost a classic California Zephyr photo if the weather had played nice, oh well. This locomotive was built in January 1950 (c/n 9678) on EMD Order 2012A, was destroyed in Gibson roundhouse fire, Omaha, Nebraska, February 19, 1969, retired in September 1969, and finally dismantled in December that year. |
