CB&Q E5A #9911
Title:  CB&Q E5A #9911
Description:  Chicago, Burlington and Quincy E5A #9911 leads a special train excursion west in Moline, Illinois, July 24, 2011. This equipment was built in 1936 by Budd Company and the entire train is covered in stainless steel. The engine is named “Silver Pilot.” This is the only full CB&Q “Nebraska Zephyr” streamliner set in existence. It was retired in 1968. The five car train is interconnected and cannot be uncoupled unless at a repair shop. This was the first public excursion with this train set in over 40 years outside of Illinois Railway Museum, which owns the equipment. The excursion ran on the Iowa Interstate Railroad from Rock Island to Bureau, Illinois and return. The trainset came for a four day event named “Train Festival” held in Rock Island, Illinois. Other train excursions and equipment also came to the event. (Canon AE-1 Program 35mm camera, Fuji Superia 400 print film)
