Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9209 at Naperville, Illinois on September 4, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. On this photo date, 9209 was the assigned power for the East End Way Freight, which switched the industries between Eola and Congress Park. Because it was road power and the train was an Extra, it displays class lights as required by the rules.

Eric Reinert General That's a really early NW-2, no ventilation louvers on the doors. It was probably already nearly 25 years old when you took this picture of it! 7/16/2015 12:50:37 PM
Chuck Zeiler General Also not obvious in the photo is straight exhaust stacks (as opposed to the EMD tapered stacks), made and installed by the CB&Q. When the locomotive arrived from EMD (it had EMC builder's plates) it had stacks only a couple of inches tall, allowing exhaust fumes to enter the cab. 7/17/2015 9:33:04 AM
