| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9245 at Eola, Illinois on January 8, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in August 1946 (c/n 3641) on EMD Order E699. It became BN 542 and was retired by the BN in May 1983. It appears to have acquired a new all-weather cab window recently. There was a roundhouse behind the photographer, who's shadow is pointing toward the rear truck. I posted another photo of this locomotive dated October 11, 1964, and in that photo the Way of the Zephyrs slogan was painted on the hood, suggesting that this locomotive was shopped sometime between the two photo dates. |
