CB&Q 165ABC in 1964 |
| Description: |
Early F units usually came in set of 4, i.e., ABBA. The CB&Q found that for most trains on its mostly flat railroad ABA sets were sufficient so the ABBAs were broken into ABs with another newer A added. On the CB&Q an ABBA set was lettered ABCD and an ABA set was lettered ABC. In this picture we see CB&Q 165A, an F7A and 165B and C, F3Bs. The train is the early morning "Pick Up" at Milledgeville, IL (122 miles from Chicago on the Twin Cities Line). If the train had a number, it was never used on the dispatcher's line. Yes it is a heck of a train to be doing local switching, but it did weekdays. |

CB&Q F3 165C |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 165C eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on February 27, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was delivered in October 1948 to the CB&Q as 138A (c/n 7012) on EMD Order E957A, the lead unit of a four unit F3 set 138. The motive power people decided they would prefer a 4500 horsepower locomotive, so they split the 138 four unit set in half, and added a new F7 cab unit to each A-B F3 set, and renumbered this particular set as 165. Although the suffix letters were not displayed in the numberboards until couplers were substituted for the drawbars between the units in the 1960's, the suffixes were displayed in very small 1 inch lettering on the side below the word BURLINGTON. Shortly after this photo date, the C suffix was applied to the F3 cab side and numberboard, and the A suffix was applied to the F7 cab. Two ABBA F3 sets were broken up this way (137 - 138), and four F7 cabs were added, producing ABA locomotives 163 - 166. |

CB&Q F3 165C |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 165C westbound at Eola, Illinois on February 13, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in October 1948 (c/n 7012) on EMD Order E957A as 138(A), traded for new power in February 1969, it was delivered as the lead cab of F3 A-B-B-A locomotive 138. Although it was numbered 138, a suffix letter was assigned and applied is small one-inch letters below the word BURLINGTON on the sides for maintenence purposes. The suffix letter was never displayed in the numberboards or on the nose or sides below the cab. When EMD announced the F7 model in 1950, the CB&Q purchased 10 F7A's and three F7B's. Three sets of pure F7 A-B-A locomotives were assembled (167-169), and the the remaining four F7A's were mated with F3A-B sets from locomotives 137 and 138, creating locomotives 163-166. Again, suffix letters were applied only in one-inch letters on the sides, the 163-166 F7A-F3B-F3A sets being considered as a single locomotive, and were semi-permanently coupled. The F7's were assigned the suffix "A" and the F3 cabs were assigned suffix "C". During the 1960's the 163-166 locomotives began receiving couplers in place of drawbars, and the suffix letters were applied to the numberboards and painted on the nose and sides. This particular locomotive received the suffix treatment sometime between March 1965 and February 1966, based on my photographic evidence. Cut in behind the F's is a new SSW SW1200 #2290 being delivered to the Cotton Belt, likely picked up in Congress Park. |

MBTA 9152 |
| Description: |
Stored on the back siding between older coaches we found this streamlined Budd built RDC-1, displaying both RDG and MBTA markings. Number 9152 was built in 1962, the last RDC ever constructed by the Budd Company. It is also one of two on the Reading that was equipped with a special device to shunt crossing circuits, allowing it to operate as a single unit while in service. The other, former RDG 9151, survives today in the collection of the Plymouth & Lincoln Railroad of Lincoln, NH. Note that the car still has its grating attached to the engineer's window on the end, an addition by the MBTA to try and prevent rocks thrown by juveniles from injuring employees while in Boston area commuter service. |
