Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. This photo shows the first Denver Zephyr (DZ), introduced on May 31, 1936, and ran between Denver and Chicago until replaced by the second DZ in October 1956, at which time the first DZ's equipment was sold to the C&S and became the Texas Zephyr. |

CB&Q E7 9937A |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9937A eastbound on Train 2, the Galesburg Local, on April 1, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This train made all the station stops between Galesburg and Aurora. Attached to the rear of the train is car 100, CB&Q President Harry C. Murphy's private car. Train 2 does not appear in the CB&Q Employees Timetable No. 8, which became effective Sunday April 26, 1964, so I assume this train was discontinued 25 days after this photo was taken. This locomotive was built March 1949 (c/n 8919), became BN 9924 on March 2, 1970, sold for scrap April 26, 1972. |

CB&Q E7 9949 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9949 at Denver, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler Built in September 1947 (c/n 4501) on EMD Order E792A, it became BN 9925 and was retired in September 1970. This unit is the only E7 on the CB&Q roster that did not have a suffix letter. There was only one other single E7 (9937A), all the other E7's were ordered in pairs. Also, the first E8 was numbered 9937B, and there was a single E8 numbered 9949A. I cannot explain why this unit was not numbered 9937B. |

CB&Q E7 9949 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9949 on a westbound Dinky at Naperville, Illinois on April 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1947 (c/n 4501) on EMD Order E792A, it became BN 9925 sometime after the March 2, 1970 merger and was traded to EMD on an order for SD45's September 14, 1970. This particular unit is numbered above the rest of the E7's, which were numbered 9916A-B through 9937A, and in A-B pairs except for the last unit, 9937A. Logic would seem to have this unit numbered 9937B, but 9937B turned out to be the first E8. To further confuse the issue, there was a single E8 numbered 9949A, with the first couple of E8 orders numbered 9937B, 9938A-B through 9948A-B, and 9949A. So far, I can find no explanation for this sequence anomaly. |

CB&Q E7 9949 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9949 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on June 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in September 1947 (c/n 4501) on EMD Order E792A, it became BN 9925 and was retired in September 1970. It is seen here on an eastbound Dinky, with the power car on the east end, and unusual situation. Typically, the power cars were kept on the west end of the train to keep the noise and exhaust to the far end of Union Station. |

Waiting for the Rain |
| Description: |
This has to be the EB Afternoon Zephyr but my notes don't show the train number (see comments below). The exact E7A is unknown. Note the Roundhouse and State Capitol above the last car and the GN diesels to the right. Part of the St. Paul skyline is to the left. The first dome car is the original home-made dome, named Silver Dome with unique dome shape and no lowered floor beneath the dome because it was a coverted coach. The shot was taken at Division Street Tower and the train is about 2 minutes out of St. Paul Union Station. If you look over the last dome you can see the Capitol dome. See comments below. |

Three E7As Blow Their Soot Leaving Chicago Union Station with the CZ |
| Description: |
After idling in Union Station, the first time the engineer notched up all the built-up soot in the cylinders was blown out as these three elephant-style ladies demonstrated. Photo taken from Roosevelt Road Bridge. The tallest building to the right is the Board of Trade, which today would be obscured by the new and larger Board of Trade Building. The whitish building to the left is the Post Office in the air space above the Stations south tracks. It has a hole through it for Architect Daniel Burnhams Congress Boulevard (Eisenhower, nee Congress, Expressway). |
