CB&Q E8 9975         
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9975 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 29, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I marked the slide as the California Zephyr. I question that now many years later, but I was pretty good about keeping notes back then. There are a couple of possible explanations: either this is a section of the CZ or the eastbound CZ from the previous day was delayed and the Burlington made up a train from available equipment. Of course, it's always possible that I marked the slide incorrectly.

Gary Everhart General Interesting to see this unit in revenue service rather than running as a museum piece. Regardless of its name, glad you shared the photo! 3/12/2013 8:08:04 AM
