BN E9Am 9910 |
Description: |
Burlington Northern Railroad E9Am 9910 at Canal Street in Chicago, Illinois on August 10, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built December 1955 ( c/n 20534 ) as CB&Q E9 9985B, it became BN 9980 after March 2, 1970. It was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District ( WSMTD ) during August 1972 and leased back the BN. Rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen, completed March 15, 1973, it returned as BN 9910, leased to the BN for operation and maintenance until retired in July 1992. At first it was named PUTZ ( painted ) and later EDWIN S. PUTZ ( on a stainless steel plate ), the first BN E9Am named. You may ask why PUTZ. The following is excerpted from the book, History of the West Suburban Mass Transit District, by T. G. ( Ted ) Schuster. Ten locomotives were named for District Trustees, ten were named for commuters. The identity of ten commuters whose names would appear on ten locomotives became a game of chance ( by way of seat notices and entry forms placed in the commuter trains ). As a precaution, BN representatives decided to let the State of Illinois Governor ( the Secretary actually drew entries due to a scheduling conflict with the Governor ) select 14 names, just in case any of the first ten had names like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck on them, or some other fictional character, who was not a BN commuter. The first name drawn was Edwin Putz. Obviously, BN personnel thought this was a fictitious name. However, the entry slips called for both an address and phone number. When checked by phone, Mr. Putz was not only an actual person, but worked on Lake Street in a print shop. Having gone through the first step unscathed, it was decided to present Mr. Putz with some recognition in a ceremony at Union Station scheduled just before rush hour one afternoon about 4:30 PM. During the week before the ceremony, your author ( Mr. Schuster ) began to hear snickers whenever the word Putz was mentioned. Finally, a clipping appeared from the American Herald newspaper published in Europe for English-speaking visitors abroad. That paper, which had earlier reported the winner of the locomotive contest as a Mr. Putz, observed rather gleefully that in the Jewish vernacular, the word putz was a sort of putdown, and actually referred to a part of the male anatomy. After your author read the article, he asked Forester DuSell ( BN Manager of Commuter Operations ) to call Mr. Putz in and gently question him about the reality of his name. From that questioning, it was learned he was actually an immigrant from Europe who immigrated to this country following World War II. His actual surname in Europe was Von Putz and he was very proud of his name. So the ceremony proceeded, and great media coverage was the result. |

Description: |
Burlington Northern Railroad E9Am's 9923 and 9911 at the former CB&Q 14th Street Coach Yard in Chicago, Illinois on July 6, 1984, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 9923 was built August 1954 (c/n 19632) as CB&Q E9 9993. It became BN 9993 on March 2, 1970 and was sold to the West Suburban Mass Transit District (WSMTD) on August 18, 1972 and leased back to the BN. During July 1973, it was rebuilt by Morrison Knudsen (MK), returning as 9923, and continued in suburban service until retired in July 1992 and it appears it is now the property of the CN. Number 9911 was built December 1955 (c/n 20536) as CB&Q E9 9986B. It became BN 9981 on March 2, 1970, was sold to the WSMTD on August 18, 1972, rebuilt by MK September 1973 as 9911, was retired July 1992. I have not found any info about its final disposition. |
