C&S E5 9955 |
| Description: |
Colorado & Southern Railway E5 9955 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 19, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as CB&Q 9914A (c/n 1301) on EMD Order E377-A , named SILVER ARROW, it was sold to C&S September 20, 1961, traded to EMD March 15, 1968. It is seen here at the head of northbound unnamed Train #8, having left Houston, Texas the previous afternoon at 3:00 PM, due in Denver at 6:05 PM. After the C&S discontinued passenger service in 1967, the C&S E5's were pressed into freight service, but were ill suited for slow drag freights and burned up traction motors quickly. Note the retractable front coupler and buffer seen in the extended position. When retracted the coupler was covered with doors, since removed, and because it took 85 complete revolutions of the hand crank to fully extend or retract the coupler, in later years it was left in the extended position. |

C&S E5 9955 |
| Description: |
Colorado & Southern Railway E5 9955 at Larkspur, Colorado on an unknown day in October 1967, Kodachrome by H. C. Crist, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built as CB&Q 9914A (named Silver Arrow) in June 1941 (c/n 1301) on EMD Order E377, it was sold to the C&S September 20, 1961, becoming C&S 9955, and was traded in on an order of SD40's on March 15, 1968. It is seen here in freight service after the C&S and FW&D discontinued passenger service in 1967. The following is from the Burlington Route Historical Society's Burlington Bulletin 10, The E's, edited by Hol Wagner: In their final months of service on the C&S, the last of the E5's were used, rather unsuccessfully, in freight service over the Joint Line between Denver and Pueblo. This line includes a steep grade in both directions to the divide at Palmer Lake, and even though the former Q E5's had been geared down, the graceful units were still high speed passenger power. Running in five and six-unit sets, the now filthy stainless steel speedsters were forced to double the hill up to Palmer Lake with 30-35 cars at a time. And still they fell well below their continuous rated speed of 29 mph, so traction motors, and even main generators, were burned up at a frightening pace. This indignity lasted only a couple of months (September 21 to November 10, 1967), because it served to render nearly all of the units inoperable. |

C&S 99518 |
| Description: |
Colorado & Southern Railway auxiliary tender 99518 and CB&Q 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4960 at Flagg Center, Illinois on June 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a fantrip from Eola to Oregon and return, featuring 2-8-2 4960 working the Oregon Way Freight. About ten miles east of Oregon was a wye at Flagg Center ( Rochelle is seen in the right background ), where the locomotive was turned for the return trip to Chicago. For the ten miles or so between Flagg Center and Oregon, the trailing combine number 3003, which also served as the regular coach/caboose on the Oregon Way Freight, was coupled next to 4960's smokebox. This resulted in a very crowded vestibule on 3003, with fans literally hanging on. Although the CB&Q had provided a couple of safety officials to control the fans, but they could not get on to the vestibule to shoo us off. |

I believe that is the way freight's regular Conductor seen on 99518 leading 4960 in the run around move, and he was none too pleased with the situation and the general pilfering his office ( 3003 ) received from the fans. |
