CB&Q NW2 9209 |
Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9209 at Naperville, Illinois, Fred Huntley at the throttle, September 4, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note the Kroehler factory whistle on the roof to the right of the telephone pole. This went off at 7:00 AM every work day with a short blast at 6:58 AM. I'm investigating the enclosure on the running board, the box on top of the hood, and the item attached to the lead journal of the truck under the cab. It appears to be ATS (Automatic Train Stop) equipment allowing this locomotive to operate on the C&NW to Sterling on the Agnew - Denrock Subdivision. Karl Rethwisch, a retired CB&Q Engineer, contributes the following information: Numbers 9208 and 9209, the assigned Rock Falls engines, were equipped with ATS, Automatic Train Stop. This equipment had been removed from C&NW steam power and applied to these engines in order to allow them to operate between Sterling and Agnew on the C&NW main line. The jobs, Train Number 92 and 93, worked between Sterling and Denrock. In the event of there being no ATS equipped engine for the jobs the Q paid a fine to the C&NW to operate non-ATS locomotives. In order for the 'blind' engine to use the C&NW main, the railroad (C&NW) had to hold all of their trains east of Sterling and west of Agnew until the Q train cleared the appropriate control point. This situation was occasioned by the lack of C&NW signals in the field. Without intermediate signals there was no indication of block conditions available to the CB&Q crews. |

CB&Q NW2 9209 |
Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9209 at Naperville, Illinois on September 4, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. On this photo date, 9209 was the assigned power for the East End Way Freight, which switched the industries between Eola and Congress Park. Because it was road power and the train was an Extra, it displays class lights as required by the rules. |

CB&Q NW2 9209 |
Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9209 on the eastbound East End Way Freight (Extra 9209 East to the Dispatcher) at Naperville, Illinois, September 4, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a pre-war switcher, built in April 1941 (c/n 1290) on EMD Order E376. The Burlington received 17 pre-war NW2's (9203-9219) before EMD was restricted from building switchers by the War Production Board. They were delivered with short exhaust stacks, only a couple of inches above the hood. The Burlington added home made straight stacks, and in this case, added covers to keep the rain and snow out. On the running board ahead of the cab is an enclosure and connected to that enclosure is a box on top of the hood. This was ATS (Automatic Train Stop) equipment required to operate over the C&NW main between Agnew and Sterling. If this locomotive (or 9208) was not available to operate Trains 92 and 93, the CB&Q would pay a fine to the C&NW, and the C&NW would be required to hold its trains east of Sterling and west of Agnew until the Q train cleared the appropriate control point. This locomotive also has class lights installed, required of all CB&Q locomotives used in road service. Engineer Fred Huntley is about to board his charge and back out onto the main and head for Downers Grove, having finished switching Naperville. This locomotive became BN 506 and was retired in May 1983. |
