Description:  An unknown photographer captured this 1912 built Alco-Schenectady Pacific-type loco hauling a long string of varnish on this day. It had tall 75" drivers to handle the passenger speeds and could generate a repectable boiler pressure of 200 psi to feed to its 24"x28" cylinders. It had an engine weight of 258,000 lb and produced a tractive effort of 36, 557, On the back of the photo was written -"Flying Crow" arriving Kansas City", SteamLocomotive.com explains that some of these engines had tuned air horns that emitted a crow's caw, which heralded the approach of the passenger varnish known as the "Flying Crow". On this service, they sported gold trim, lettering, and an emblem on the tender. The date is an approximation.

CRIP TA #604 - Chicago, Roack Island & Pacific
Title:  CRIP TA #604 - Chicago, Roack Island & Pacific
Description:  Poor quality photo of the unique 1937 EMC built TA model for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific as it sits is the train shed area of the Kansas City Union Station, MO. Six streamlined TA models were built solely for the Rock Island. The locomotives were powered by a 1200 hp Winton 201-A V16 engine. The loco was constructed as a crbody truss instead of the separate chassis to save weight and headed up a 3 or 4 car semi-articulated trainset built by the Budd Co. The 6 TA locomotives were retired between 1957-58 and all were scrapped. The date is approximate and no photographer's name was listed for the photo.

SLSF 4-6-2 #1007 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Title:  SLSF 4-6-2 #1007 - St Louis-San Francisco (Frisco)
Description:  If the date on this photo is correct, this Alco-Brooks 4-6-2 looks like it has just been delivered even though it has served over 45 years. A note on the back of the photo states "on '20-21'" - not sure what this reference is. Jonathan Spurlock (see comment below) has speculated it is in reference to train #20/21 which makes sense. Thanks, Jonathan! Built by Alco-Brooks in February of 1904, it was one of the first Pacifics on the Frisco roster. Specs - serial #28697, class 1000, 69" drivers, 200 psi boiler pressure, 20x26" cylinders, engine weight of 193,550 lb, tractive effort of 25,623 lb. No photographer was listed for the photo.

CB&Q E5 9912A
Title:  CB&Q E5 9912A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E5 9912A at Kansas City, Missouri on an unknown date, photograph by R. S. Plummer, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Although the date is unknown it is likely somewhere between the late 1940's, when the truck skirts were removed, and the early 1950's when the names were dropped. In this case, the name 'Silver Meteor' is still visible on the name plate below the first carbody window. Number 9912A was built in March 1940 (c/n 969) and traded to GE in March 1965. This is a Phase 1 E5, the evidence is the buffer plate (the Phase 2 E5 carried the anti-climber across), and a cab vent below the Engineer's side window (missing on the Phase 2).

Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E5 9912A, named SILVER METEOR, at Kansas City, Missouri, date unknown, photograph by R. S. Plummer, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. Although the date is unknown, I roughed it in as early 1950. The truck skirts were removed in the late 1940's, and the coupler covers (present in this photo) were removed by the early 1960's. Also, the imitation grill plates (striped lines on either side of the upper headlight) are still present. They were removed in the early 1950's and replaced with stainless steel doors because to access the MU plugs and electro-pneumatic brake connections, the plates had to be unscrewed and removed. Terminal crews took to leaving the plates off completely.
