CB&Q F3 121A
Title:  CB&Q F3 121A
Description:  CB&Q F3 121A east of Eola, Illinois on Sunday October 11, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built during November 1947 (c/n 4465) on EMD Order E790A and was sold for scrap in May 1965 to Precision Engineering. This image is a result of my having missed the eastbound Dinky (commuter train) in Aurora, and the next Dinky was two hours later. Heck, I could walk home (to Naperville, 10 miles east) in two hours, and that's what I did. I shot photos along the way, and this location is about a half mile east of the EJ&E overpass in Eola. As it turned out, the next Dinky beat me to Naperville, but not by much.

Title:  CB&Q F3 121D
Description:  CB&Q F3 121D eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 26, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler.

CB&Q F3 122D
Title:  CB&Q F3 122D
Description:  A poor image of Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 122D eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on May 16, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. Obviously, the this train caught me off-guard and I arrived late to the scene. Of interest to CB&Q fans are the MU connections, one of only eight F-units on the Burlington to receive MU connections on the nose in the early 1960's. Number 122D was built in April 1948 (c/n 5875) and traded in January 1967 for new power.

Note man on the ground behind the F-units. It might be a switching move. Trailing the F-units is a GP7 ( looks like number 215 ) and two 400-series lightweight SD7's.

Not my best photo, and I almost didn't bother with it, except it is an historical record of this locomotive in its duties.

Title:  CB&Q F3 127
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 127 at Fort Worth, Texas on an unknown date in 1950, photograph by R. S. Plummer, print by Gordon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. The print is marked: Probably Fort Worth, c. 1950. For purposes of filing on this site, this locomotive is assumed to be 127A. The four units pictured were considered by the railroad and brotherhoods to be a single locomotive, the cab at the other end was also numbered 127. I believe the units are under load test, based on the external cooling fans.

CB&Q F3 131A
Title:  CB&Q F3 131A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 131A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Locomotive 131A was built in October 1948 (c/n 7008) and traded in on a GP40 during March 1968. From my perspective, the most interesting part of this photo is the first freight car after the locomotives. The was the first black CB&Q 3-bay hopper I ever saw. All the CB&Q 3-bay hoppers I saw before this date were painted red, so this was a surprise (and a treat) to me.

CB&Q F3 132A
Title:  CB&Q F3 132A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 132A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on August 3, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. There are a couple of gentlemen on the bridge observing, and here's what transpired as best I remember: My friend, Ed DeRouin, explained to me that this was a local freight, and if there was a 'hot' car, they would set it out at Naperville, to be picked up by the East End Way Freight, and delivered to the customer, avoiding the usual setout at Eola, and adding a day to the delivery. The head-end brakeman is conferring with the crew, and they will set out a boxcar of newsprint paper (typically in a CP boxcar), that will be picked up and delivered to the newspaper printer in Downers Grove. However, there are some logistics to work out. This train has stopped short of Loomis Street, the only level crossing in Naperville, and will cut off here so as not to block the crossing. Unfortunately, the train has already activated the automatic crossing gates, and vehicular traffic has been stopped by the lowered gates. The switch to the siding is on the other side of Loomis Street, so someone will have to flag the crossing while the setout takes place. My guess is that the Fireman is getting drafted into crossing protection duty.

CB&Q F3 132A
Title:  CB&Q F3 132A
Description:  CB&Q F3 132A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on August 3, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built on EMD Order E957 during November 1948 (c/n 7050), it was traded as credit for a GP40 in January 1967. Order E957 was for 17 A/B/B/A F3 sets, and the delivery spanned three Phases of F3 production. Sets 122-125, delivered in April 1948 were Phase II F3's equipped with the new 36 inch unshrouded cooling fans. Sets 126-129 (Phase III) had louvers between the side porthole windows and lacked the "chicken wire". Sets 130-138 introduced the stainless steel Farr Air grills at the top side of the carbody, making the Phase IV F3's look much like a Phase I F7, except for the rectangular openings on the roof for the dynamic brakes instead of a 36 inch fan.

CB&Q F3 132A
Title:  CB&Q F3 132A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 132A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on October 28, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in November 1948 (c/n 7050) on EMD Order E-957 as the lead motor (as the CB&Q called their individual locomotives) of the four unit F3 set 132A-B-C-D. Delivered with drawbars and considered a single locomotive, it is termed a Phase IV F3, with the carbody configuration of a Phase I F7, except for the dynamic brake openings on the roof, which are rectangular openings instead of a 36" fan (on the F7). By the 1960's, the drawbars were replaced with couplers, and the F's were mixed freely to form the horsepower required for the job they were assigned. This particular motor was traded in on an order of GP40's in January 1967. No CB&Q F-units made it to the BN merger.

This locomotive was built during November 1948 (c/n 7051) on EMD Order E957A and was traded for credit to GE on an order for U28B's during March 1967. It represents the Phase 4 carbody, the only spotting difference between this carbody and the Phase 1 F7 is the dynamic brake on the roof, The F3 had two rectangular grills, and the F7 had a 36 inch diameter fan, located in front of the first exhaust stack.
