CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-3 2960
Title:  CB&Q 4-6-2 Class S-3 2960
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-2 Class S-3 2960 on Train #9 at Sand Creek, Colorado on June 11, 1939, photograph by Jackson Thode, Chuck Zeiler collection. I'm hoping that Larkspur is close to Sand Creek, which is how the print is marked. Number 2960 was built by Baldwin in 1915 (c/n 42160) and sold for scrap in July 1952. At some point it acquired a Worthington feedwater heater, it wasn't delivered with one. Fifteen Class S-3 Pacific types were built by Baldwin in 1915 (road #'s 2950-2964) and an additional ten were built in 1918 (road #'s 2965-2974). Additionally, in 1922 two more S-3 design locomotives were built for the FW&DC (road #'s 556-557) and three for the C&S (road #'s 373-375, class F-3C). The C&S also acquired (around 1936) CB&Q 2970, 2973, and 2965, becoming C&S 370, 371, and 372 respectively, classed F-3B. The three Class F-3C locomotives built for the C&S had 69 inch drivers (as opposed to the 74 inch drivers on the CB&Q locomotives), which were better suited to C&S grades and resulted in a tractive force increase from the stock 42,400 lb. to 44,000 lb.. .

C&S E5 9955
Title:  C&S E5 9955
Description:  Colorado & Southern Railway E5 9955 at Larkspur, Colorado on an unknown day in October 1967, Kodachrome by H. C. Crist, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as CB&Q 9914A (named Silver Arrow) in June 1941 (c/n 1301) on EMD Order E377, it was sold to the C&S September 20, 1961, becoming C&S 9955, and was traded in on an order of SD40's on March 15, 1968. It is seen here in freight service after the C&S and FW&D discontinued passenger service in 1967. The following is from the Burlington Route Historical Society's Burlington Bulletin 10, The E's, edited by Hol Wagner: In their final months of service on the C&S, the last of the E5's were used, rather unsuccessfully, in freight service over the Joint Line between Denver and Pueblo. This line includes a steep grade in both directions to the divide at Palmer Lake, and even though the former Q E5's had been geared down, the graceful units were still high speed passenger power. Running in five and six-unit sets, the now filthy stainless steel speedsters were forced to double the hill up to Palmer Lake with 30-35 cars at a time. And still they fell well below their continuous rated speed of 29 mph, so traction motors, and even main generators, were burned up at a frightening pace. This indignity lasted only a couple of months (September 21 to November 10, 1967), because it served to render nearly all of the units inoperable.

My First DRGW sighting in action over 20 years ago! (I waited for a few hours in rain/snow and, after several SF and BN trains, it finally came. The 3rd engine was GP30.)
