Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9223 on the eastbound East End Way Freight, switching at Naperville, Illinois on July 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was equipped with a 6Vapor standby heater located in an enclosure in front of the Engineer's forward window. The intention was to allow the prime mover to be shut down in cold weather and the heater would heat and circulate the cooling water. It was seldom, if ever, used. |
