CB&Q 4960 at Saint Joseph, MO |
| Description: |
This is me in the cab of my dad's CB&Q 4960 (2-8-2), preparing for a short ride which I believe was a mail run to Bigelow, MO, in either April or May 1963. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 westbound at Aurora, Illinois on July 4, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. I didn't have enough sense to save the flyer from this trip, so I don't know the destination. The consist was: 4960, C&S auxiliary tender 99518, CB&Q mill gondola 197193, a heavyweight coach, a heavyweight diner, three bi-level commuter coaches, a 7300 series single level coach/power car, another heavyweight coach, and another mill gondola. As I recall, safety railings were welded to the diaphrams of the heavyweight coaches to permit safe passage from the gondolas to the rest of the train. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 westbound at Aurora, Illinois on July 4, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Once upon a time, you could ride behind a coal burning steam locomotive, and not complain because you got a cinder in the eye. Most of the gentlemen in the gondola are wearing goggles, and from personal experience, I can attest that this was required eyewear for a fantrip like this. You were also shampooing cinders out of your scalp fo the next few days if you didn't wear a hat. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on November 22, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a bit unusual to see a solid train of stainless steel coaches on a fantrip. My notes indicate this was a trip to Rockford, Illinois. On the rear is the Silver Solarium, the spare dome-observation from the California Zephyr pool. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 at Naperville, Illinois on November 29, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a steam special for local school children. Earlier the special picked up the chldren and left Naperville westbound to an unknown destination. Upon return, the childern were unloaded, and the train backed from Naperville to Aurora as seen in this photo. This locomotive had a steam leak on this side for a short period of time. |

Here is one special in the siding at Naperville on a dreary day awaiting the arrival of the school children in Naperville. |

CB&Q 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 5, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. About a mile behind this scene to the west was River Road. At the time of this photo, River Road was not heavily traveled, and warranted only crossbucks to protect motorists. All trains would signal the usual two longs - one short - one long, crossing signal, giving me a moment to decide if I should grab my camera. Of course, a steam whistle instead of a horn is reason enough to get the camera and get out in the cold. Here is 4960 running light eastbound, likely heading for a fantrip assignment out of Chicago. I have no information about that trip, although I have a flyer for the trip the following week, December 13, a Santa Claus Special from Chicago to "Santa Claus Land" and return. I have no idea where Santa Claus Land was, but it was two hours out of Aurora, and would have been a place where the train (or at least, the locomotive) could have been turned. However, on this day the CB&Q gave me an early Christmas present, my very own personal photo runby. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad O-1-A 4960 photo runby at Leland Illinois on March 21, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Obviously, Marty Bernard and I were on the same fantrip, but didn't know each other. He posted a photo here: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=806070 which is a much better version of this shot. It shows the same steam leaks from what appears to be a problem with the Worthington feedwater heater pump. I looked at my slide mount, and it is not Kodak, so I assume I was using some off-brand film. Such were the economics of a 17 year old in 1965. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 at Zearing, Illinois on March 21, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a fantrip between Chicago and Zearing. Zearing was chosen because it provided the means to turn the train. In this case, it was the interchange between the CB&Q and NYC, with NYC tracks passing over the Q, and a connection was on each side. Number 4960 is on the NYC rails passing over CB&Q rails, in the process of turning the train for the return trip. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 on a fantrip at Leland, Illinois on March 21, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Every shot on that trip featured that steam leak in the Worthington pump area, obscuring the running gear behind. I should have written a letter of complaint, maybe I would have gotten my $7.50 fare back. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 at Wedron, Illinois on June 20, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Wedron was a source of revenue and locomotive sand for the CB&Q. Note the gentleman on the far left. There always seem to be at least one guy who didn't want to be in the photo line. Those guys hanging out of the baggage car door were getting sandbasted with all the spilled sand 4960 was kicking up. |

Colorado & Southern Railway auxiliary tender 99518 and CB&Q 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 at Flagg Center, Illinois on June 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a fantrip from Eola to Oregon and return, featuring 2-8-2 4960 working the Oregon Way Freight. About ten miles east of Oregon was a wye at Flagg Center ( Rochelle is seen in the right background ), where the locomotive was turned for the return trip to Chicago. For the ten miles or so between Flagg Center and Oregon, the trailing combine number 3003, which also served as the regular coach/caboose on the Oregon Way Freight, was coupled next to 4960's smokebox. This resulted in a very crowded vestibule on 3003, with fans literally hanging on. Although the CB&Q had provided a couple of safety officials to control the fans, but they could not get on to the vestibule to shoo us off. |

CB&Q E8 9943B |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9943B & O1a 4960 at Aurora, Illinois on June 26, 1965, Koadchrome by Chuck Zeiler. It's a busy moment at the Aurora, Illinois Depot as a freight passes though and Train #10, The Denver Zephyr arrives for its 8:45 AM CST stop. This being summer, it's 9:45 DST locally, and Extra 4960 West waits for the trains to clear the circuit before proceeding on a fantrip to Oregon, Illinois and return. By almost anyone's standards this was an unusual fantrip, the feature of this trip was that it was a working way freight. In addition to the usual baggage car (for tape recording and hanging your head out), open gondola, air-conditioned coaches and snack car, the trip had freight cars to be set out at various industries along the way. |

I believe that is the way freight's regular Conductor seen on 99518 leading 4960 in the run around move, and he was none too pleased with the situation and the general pilfering his office ( 3003 ) received from the fans. |
