For Box Car Fans
Title:  For Box Car Fans
Description:  Looking like a mixed train because of the 40 ft. combine on the rear this day instead of a way car (CB&Q jargon for caboose), this is the Oregon Turn with NW2 9234 doing the pulling. It near Rochelle, IL on September 5, 1964 while making its round trip between Oregon, IL and the Eola, IL yards on the line to the Twin Cities. All the corn stalks in the field have been cut.

Description:  Great Northern Railway 1191, 'Twelve Mile Coulee', on the rear of CB&Q Train #32, the eastbound Empire Builder, at Rochelle, Illinois on June 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler.

It was built as a two double bedroom, one drawing room, buffet-lounge-observation car, Plan 4109, Lot 6751. It was rebuilt in 1955, retained number 1191 and renamed 'Twelve Mile Coulee'.

C&NW 1733 With a Eastbound Local from a Westbound Freight
Title:  C&NW 1733 With a Eastbound Local from a Westbound Freight
Description:  I took no notes on this trip so here is my educated guess for the data on this picture. It was taken about at Rochelle. The eastbound freight coming at us was a local (one Geep) must have had work on the normally westbound track because as you can see we were running right-handed. This was CTC territory signaled both directions on both tracks, if I remember correctly.

BN GP7 1614
Title:  BN GP7 1614
Description:  BN GP7 1614 at Rochelle, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note the unusual short hood arrangement. The typical ex-CB&Q GP7 would have a lower than usual headlight, as the Mars light was mounted above, where this headlight is now located. Also note an extra set of grab irons on the Fireman's (Conductor's) side of the short hood, unfortunately lacking the grab above the numberboard and one more on the roof, rendering them next to useless. Repair work maybe.
