| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad SW1200 9277 at Clyde, Illinois on October 22, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in October 1955 ( c/n 20549 ) on EMD Order 4302, it became BN 235. Of interest to CB&Q fans is that although 9977 is newer, it displays the older ( original ) switcher paint scheme. "Way of the Zephyrs" was painted on the Engineer's side, and "Everywhere West" was painted on the other ( Fireman's ) side. As best I can determine. the loco behind is NW2 9212, based on close examination of the slide (the last number appears to be a 2), and the straight stacks, applied to the early NW2's. It sports the newer CB&Q switcher paint scheme. |
