Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9966 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois, April 19, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in August 1952 (c/n 16707) on EMD Order 2048A, it became BN 9966, became Amtrak 350 August 1, 1972, was retired March 28, 1975 and sold for scrap. This might be a late-running Train #14, a Lincoln - Chicago train scheduled to move express, later meat and packing house products in reefers and TOFC, with a 3:25 AM arrival in Chicago. and if so, he's about five or six hours late. He's also running eastbound on what was normally the westbound main. |
