CB&Q TR2B 9408B
Title:  CB&Q TR2B 9408B
Description:  CB&Q TR2B 9408B at Knoxville, Illinois on April 2, 1950, photo purchased ages ago from J. R. Gruber, scanned by Chuck Zeiler. This photo shows the original configuration of 9408, a single locomotive built in 1949 as a TR2 cow and calf. This would appear to be the only instance of a single CB&Q locomotive showing both slogans on the same side. The lead unit displays class lights as required by CB&Q rules for road locomotives. The TR2's were broken up in 1954, and the cabless units (CB&Q 9400B-9413B) were returned to EMD for installation of cabs. By that date, the style of the cab had changed to a SW7 style, with rectangular windows over the hood area, as opposed to the arched windows that were on the TR2A's. All the former CB&Q TR2's were re-classed as NW2's.

climbing up the hill on the NP double track
Title:  climbing up the hill on the NP double track
Description:  this CB&Q transfer was observed climbing the hill out of St Paul and the Great River valley. They were heading west towards Northtown and had just passed Trout Brook Jct and Mississippi Street. Sometimes there were two engines and sometimes three, but this was typical of the way that things were done. And yes, the engines always faced west as they ran around the Twin Cities making connections with other railroads! But one day soon the inbound power from La Crosse would no longer cutoff at Daytons Bluff and the "Red Birds" as they were known would run thru as they took their trains and made their connections with Great Northern and the Northern Pacific. And my time on the Milwaukee Road would be interrupted and cut short by the period of time that I spent in the US Navy Submarine service. But I did not know that when I returned home, that it would be the beginning of 30 years as a trick dispatcher on the Burlington Northern Railroad!

CB&Q in St Paul Daytons Bluff yard in 1968.
Title:  CB&Q in St Paul Daytons Bluff yard in 1968.
Description:  The CB&Q used a trio of SW switchers to run transfers up the BIG HILL in St Pa ul with the GN, NP, CNW, Soo Line and other railroad in the Twin Cities around St. Paul and Minneapolis, MN. The grade out of St. Paul is very steep and I read is as tough a grade as that in the Rocky Mountains.

two yard engines and a caboose
Title:  two yard engines and a caboose
Description:  there were two yard leads on the west end of Daytons Bluff. It looks like one engine is waiting "in the clear" until the other one with the caboose finishes making its move and the lead is then clear for a lite engine.

CBQ 9412B
Title:  CBQ 9412B
Description:  the Burlington was said 2b "Everywhere West"--- and when yard engines left Dayton's Bluff on transfers to other railroads in the Twin Cities- they were often used in multiple unit engine consists each engine always faced the same direction--- WEST!!! Usually there was 2 or 3 but one day i saw a transfer heading to the GN or NP with 7 of these sw1000's and yes they were all facing west!!! Then one day someone decided that "the red birds" meaning the road power from LaCrosse and Chicago- could run thru to the GN @Union Yard and also to the NP @Northtown--- it was a sad day 4me!!!

working the caboose track
Title:  working the caboose track
Description:  at Daytons Bluff, the yard engine seems to be putting away a couple of wooden cabooses. Notice the pile of coal on the far left probably for the caboose stoves?! The caboose numbers are 13891 and 14332.

CB&Q NW2 9413A
Title:  CB&Q NW2 9413A
Description:  CB&Q NW2 9413A at West Burlington, Iowa on September 29, 1963, photo by Chuck Zeiler. It's almost not fair to call this a locomotive, even the horn has been removed. It was built as a TR2A during November 1949 (c/n 8508), mated with cabless TR2B 9413B, the last TR2 set of 14 (9400A&B through 9413A&B). The TR2's were broken up in 1954, and the B-units were returned to EMD for installation of cabs. They were re-classed as NW2's by the CB&Q, and were the only NW2's on the system with MU&capability. It became BN 572 and was retired September 1983.

Rare find
Title:  Rare find
Description:  There is a lot of power here at the shop, but the oddball is C&O 3302, a U30C, one of a very few 6 axle GEs on the C&O. The pair of U30B's is also a nice find. The place was a veritable museum of 1960's motive power.
