CB&Q Depot at Galesburg, Illinois |
Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad depot at Galesburg, Illinois, date and photographer unknown, print scanned from Chuck Zeiler collection. This was the third depot the CB&Q built in Galesburg. My guess is the photo date was shortly after the construction was completed and the structure was formally dedicated in 1913. The following is excerpted from the Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin Number 37, entitled BURLINGTON BOXES (referring the the shape of Burlington's large depot buildings), edited by Hol Wagner. Even as Burlington officials were approving construction of the new depot at Sheridan ( Wyoming ), they were suddenly and unexpectedly faced with an immediate need for a new depot and division office building at Galesburg, the bustling hub of Lines East, for on April 27, 1911, the classic Victorian brick depot there ( Galesburg's second Burlington depot, complete with a striking but purely ornamental tower that made it one of the city's tallest structures ) was gutted by fire, leaving nothing standing but a shell of scorched brick walls. Noted architect Heny Raeder was retained to design the replacement structure. Two stories tall, but topped by a low, tiled-covered hip roof that made it appear tall, the depot measured an impressive 64 feet 3 inches wide and 233 feet long, its footprint encompassing 14,800 square feet. Constructed of brownish red brick manufactured locally by Purington Brick Company ( best known for the brick pavers used on Line East depot platforms ) the structure was erected just north of the Seminary and South Street site of the old depot, and its construction occupied the latter part of 1911 and virtually all of 1912. Completed at a cost of estimated by the railroad at $150,000.00 - plus and by local sources at closer to $225,000.00, the new depot was formally dedicated in early 1913. By the time the Burlington Northern was created in 1970, the Galesburg Division no longer existed, and all Lines East dispatching had been done from a consolidated facility near Clyde Yard near Cicero, Illinois for two years. A building as large as the 622,000 cubic-foot Galesburg depot was costly to maintain and expensive to heat in the winter, particularly for the minimal use the railroad was getting from it. Consequently as the BN began developing plans for an $80 million expansion and modernization of its facilities in Galesburg - plans that would include razing the power plant that furnished steam to heat the depot - the 1912 building became a liability to the railroad. The city wanted to save the structure and investigated ways this might be accomplished. But in the end, the building's great size was its own downfall. Even if the railroad had given the structure to the city, heating and maintaining it in its current condition would have been prohibitively expensive. And renovating it, installing a new heating system, and bringing the other utilities up to code, would have been just as costly, with all the expense incurred up front before any of the benefits could be realized. Consequently, with little advance warning, the railroad undertook demolition of the historic structure in May 1983, 71 years after the massive depot entered service, and Galesburg lost a major landmark. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad class S-4-A 4000 named Aeolus, eastbound at Aurora, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1937, photo by Baldwin Locomotive Works, Chuck Zeiler collection. The following is from the Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin 14, AEOLUS: Alice blasts out of the Aurora depot on the last leg of the journey to Chicago with an American Legion special train from Denver in August or September 1937 - Baldwin photo. Not obvious is another train pulling into the station, only the smoke plume at track level in the left background gives it away, but on close inspection it appears to possibly be another section of this train, lead by a conventional S-4. |

CB&Q PMC 9845 |
Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Class PMC (Passenger Motor Car) 9845 at Maryville, Missouri on September 24, 1957, photo by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. My only choice on this site was Pullman-Standard as the builder and ACMU as the model. Neither is entirely correct. The body was built July 1928 by Pullman Car (In 1934 Pullman Car & Manufacturing merged with Standard Steel Car Co. to form the Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing Company). It was delivered as number 845 and renumbered in 1930, when the 275 horsepower gasoline engine was replaced with a diesel from Electro-Motive Corporation. It was classed as a PMC on the CB&Q, (Passenger Motor Car) and finally scrapped in August 1961. Hand written on the slide mount was a notation that this is Train #30, which may or may not be correct. I recall train #30 being a Denver to Billings train, but I'm working from both memory (not always accurate) and a 1965 timetable. According to the 1965 timetable, Train #85 ran on Tuesday and Friday (9/24/1957 was a Tuesday) between St. Joseph, Missouri and Creston, Iowa, arriving in Maryville at 12:05 PM. The following is a comment from Brian Woodruff (thanks, Brian), which helps clarify the train number: "I have a 1954 Official Guide which does show the Creston to St. Joseph motor train as No. 30. While the Guide also lists a Billings to Denver train No. 30, that was technically a Colorado & Southern train. Also, in 1954, train No. 30 was due in Maryville at 8:55 am, and I'm thinking the length of the shadows in your pic look more like 9 AM than noon." |

CB&Q PMC 9845 |
Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad PMC 9845 at Lenox, Iowa, north of Saint Joseph, Missouri, on an unknown day in October 1957, Kodachrome by Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Gas-electrics were classed as PMC (Passenger Motor Car) by the Burlington, although drawings of this number series also show Class ED-3B. This particular PMC was built in July 1928 as 845, body by Pullman, power plant by Electro-Motive Corporation (c/n 279) driving Westinghouse electrical gear. The number 9 was prefixed to all the PMC numbers in the 1930's, and thus this one became 9845. Originally powered by a EMC Model 120 - 275 horsepower gasoline engine coupled to a DC generator, the power plant was later replaced with a 400 hp diesel. This PMC was scrapped in August 1961. |

PRRZ 550022 |
Description: |
PRRZ 550022 at Lincoln, Nebraska on February 8, 1963, photo by Jim C. Seacrest, Chuck Zeiler collection. I'm guessing that Jim either submitted this photo or intended to submit it for publication because there is a detailed description attached to the back of the print which reads as follows: On February 8, 1963 CB&Q passenger train local east #8 carries meat behind the passenger consist in three different types of cars; regular refirgerator car, container on flats (new for the CB&Q), and piggyback. Once in a while meat from Lincoln, Nebraska meatpackers misses the connection to Omaha and Q's new solid meat train to Chicago. So, to fulfill its contract, the Q takes the Lincoln meat up to Omaha on the back of one of its passenger trains. If the meat still misses its Omaha connection, then it rides with Q's passenger #8 all the way to Chicago. On the day this pix was taken, there were ten cars of meat plus a waycar (caboose) behind the passenger train out of Lincoln. So far, this rare event happens once ot twice a month. Editors note: The lower keystone on the front of the trailer reads: ETLC EXCELSIOR TRUCK LEASING CO. |

CB&Q E7 9929A |
Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9929A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 1, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. This E7 was built in September 1947 (c/n 4439) on EMD Order E792A, and was traded as credit to GE for a U28B in February 1968. It is pictured on the eastbound Train #2, the Galesburg Local, which made all the station stops between Galesburg and Aurora, the ones the Zephyrs skipped. On this day, the Galesburg Local has three heavyweight coaches and a former troop kitchen car from World War II converted to a storage mail car. I could have framed this photo better, and come up with a much better photo of the train, but in cleaning the scan, I noticed a face in the house on the far left. Although this is winter, the window is open in the upper story of the house, and there is a face staring at me as I take this photo. That is my mother, and she is watching over her 15 year old son as he carelessly wanders onto railroad property and photographs this scene. Most of our mothers don't get to see what we do to get these photos, and I'm sure she's wondering what this is all about. She had the same question that most professional railroaders asked me; 'What are you going to do with all of these train photos?' I never could explain it at the time, and I doubt they would have bought into the story that I was waiting until the Internet was invented and I could plunk my photos into a place where anyone could look at them and read this story. Actually, I had no idea why I was taking all these train photos. |

CB&Q Downers Grove Main Street Station |
Description: |
In 1947 the "Train of the Goddesses" (one of the second pair of Twin Zephyrs) derailed at speed and hit this station shearing off the front. Three people were killed and 30 injured in this accident. In November 1947 the repaired trainset was reassigned to Nebraska Zephyr service between Chicago and Lincoln, Nebraska along with the "Train of the Gods" (from Wikipedia and see comments below). The front (track) side of the station was rebuilt in a very different style. The station originally looked much like the CB&Q stations at Sandwich and Plano, Illinois but with outdoor waiting areas at each end.
