| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GP7 206 at Naperville, Illinois on August 7, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. Having finished switching the north side of the tracks, the East End Way Freight is preparing to switch the south side. The head end Brakeman ( seen by the white shed hustling to set the switch ) will guide the train to couple to the cars for Moser Lumber ( Moser was at the boxcars on the left ) staged earlier by the way freight. With the cars for Moser ( out of frame on the right ) on the front of 206, the train will back across all three main line tracks and occupy Track 3 ( the main track on the left ), and swap loads for empties. The empties will be on the front of 206, so before proceeding out of town, the way freight will do a flying switch maneuver, running toward its standing train. The locomotive will cut off at speed about half way, accelerate toward the standing train but head into the siding. The Conductor will throw the switch, the empties will roll past the locomotive in the siding and smack into the standing train, usually with considerable noise and dust. The locomotive will pull out, couple up to the train, pump air, and depart for Downers Grove. |

CB&Q GP7 206 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on July 19, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I suppose your eye is drawn to the Milwaukee Road bulkhead flatcar, so for the record it is MILW 67118, first car in the Burlington's East End Way Freight, which switched the industries between Eola and Congress Park. This locomotive was built in September 1951 (c/n 13175) on EMD Order 5072, became BN 1562, and was retired in October 1982. |

CB&Q GP7 206 westbound at Aurora, Illinois on February 18, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Seen here picking up orders at the Aurora depot, this is Extra 206 West, judging by the class lights. This was one of the few GP7's on the Burlington's roster not equipped with a steam generator. |

| Description: |
CB&Q GP7 206 at Naperville, Illinois on March 31, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in September 1951 (c/n 13175), became BN 1562, and was retired in October 1982. It is seen here on the east end of a westbound locomotive set, being guided back to its train (note the brakeman on the steps) after making a setout at Naperville. In charge is GP20 900, followed by GP7 205, 225, and 206, it was unusual at this late date for GP7's to be assigned road service. It was also somewhat out of the ordinary for a road freight to make a setout at Naperville. One would assume that a boxcar had been delayed on its journey, and the customer was hopping mad. The CB&Q agent then made arrangements for the boxcar to be setout here for the East End Way Freight, due in Naperville in about an hour. Normally, the boxcar would have been setout at Eola, another 10 miles or so west of here, but that would have delayed its delivery by another day, since the way freight's train was already made up and ready to depart, as soon as this train clears the main. |
