Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad E9 9995 westbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 26, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Although this locomotive was the highest numbered E9 on the CB&Q's diesel roster, it was not the last one delivered. The Burlington psaced it final passenger locomotive order in late 1955 for 10 more E9's, and since these units would not fit above 9995, they were numbered in a slot reserved for the FW&D, 9985A-B to 9989A-B. |
