Title:  CB&Q F3 121
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 121 near Galesburg, Illinois on June 11, 1948, photograph by P Stringham, print William A. Raia, Chuck Zeiler collection. For purposes of filing on this site, this locomotive is assumed to be 121A. The four units pictured were considered by the railroad and brotherhoods to be a single locomotive, the cab at the other end was also numbered 121. Both A-units were retro-fitted with a second headlight placed in the door.

CB&Q F3 121A
Title:  CB&Q F3 121A
Description:  CB&Q F3 121A east of Eola, Illinois on Sunday October 11, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built during November 1947 (c/n 4465) on EMD Order E790A and was sold for scrap in May 1965 to Precision Engineering. This image is a result of my having missed the eastbound Dinky (commuter train) in Aurora, and the next Dinky was two hours later. Heck, I could walk home (to Naperville, 10 miles east) in two hours, and that's what I did. I shot photos along the way, and this location is about a half mile east of the EJ&E overpass in Eola. As it turned out, the next Dinky beat me to Naperville, but not by much.
