| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9402A at Clyde, Illinois on March 14, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in February 1949 (c/n 6564) on EMD Order E1009A for nine TR2A's, mated with nine TR2B's (EMD Order E1009B), this particular locomotive became BN 550 and was retired in May 1983. This was the cab of TR2 9402, a drawbar-connected cow-calf set. In 1954 the CB&Q sent the B-units back to EMD for installation of cabs, suffix letters were added to the units, producing 9402A out of the original cab unit and 9402B out of the returning B unit with a cab. The B's had the revised cab installed, with rectangular windows over the hood on the cab front instead of the arched windows on the original cab A units, as seen here. |
