CB&Q E7 9936A
Title:  CB&Q E7 9936A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E7 9936A on Train #1, The Denver Zephyr, at Berwyn, Illinois on June 27, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Also seen in the distance is E8 9943A approaching the Berwyn station. This is a fortunate situation in that I generally took the train from Union Station, thus should have been aboard the approaching Dinky (CB&Q term for commuter train). I happened to be visiting my friend Chris Burritt in Oak Park, and usually would backtrack by riding the CTA elevated train back into Chicago for the connection to the Q and ultimately, back to Naperville where I lived. But I was running late, so I took the bus down to the Berwyn station, where I caught this scene. I thought I could identify each train, but something is amiss in this shot. Looking at a 1965 calendar, this would be Sunday, which makes the Dinky a Sunday only all-stop train. I noted on the slide that the train led by 9936A is the Denver Zephyr. Here's the problem: according to my copy of the Employee's Timetable #10 in effect on this date, Train #1, The Denver Zephyr, departed Union Station at 5:00PM CST, and Train #225, the Sunday Only Dinky, departed at 5:01PM. Furthermore, the Dinky made five stops before arriving at Berwyn at 5:18. So, I am assuming the the DZ is running slightly late, not an unusual occurrence, especially in the summer, when often not only was it late departing, but sometime an overflow crowd of passengers would cause it to run in sections.

CB&Q E8 9943A
Title:  CB&Q E8 9943A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E8 9943A westbound at Berwyn, Illinois on June 27, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built during March 1950 (c/n 9685), became Burlington Northern 9943 after the BN merger March 2, 1970, became Amtrak 338 on August 1, 1972, retired May 28, 1975 and sold for scrap during July 1975 to H. Koppell Co. of Boise Idaho. It's Sunday, the clue being three locomotives and two coaches on Train 225. The CB&Q practice was to rotate the passenger E's between suburban assignments and Zephyr assignments. As a result, locomotives would lay over in Chicago at the Zephyr Pit (14th St. service facility), and on Sunday evening, the E's coming off the Zephyrs would be run out to Aurora on Sunday evening on the Dinkys (commuter trains) in preparation for the Monday morning rush hour, thus the expanation for the multiple E-units on this Dinky. On the adjacent track is Train #1, the westbound Denver Zephyr.
