| CB&Q NE-7 13945 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on November 15, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This waycar (caboose) was built at the Aurora, Illinois shops in September 1914, became BN 11141, and was sold for scrap to Marfax Steel & Railway Equipment in January 1973. It is seen here crossing over from Track 3 to Track 2 in Naperville. The switches were manual at the time, which explains the gentleman behind the train who has finished re-aligning the switch behind and is moving to re-align the switch on Track 2. This was a very unusual move, and likely there was a problem on Track 3 between Naperville and Downers Grove, where there were dispatcher-controlled crossovers. Also seen is scale test car 204739 in the appropriate position at the rear of the train. |
