CB&Q SW1 9140 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroas SW1 9140 at West Chicago, Illinois on February 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The original charter of the CB&Q was the Aurora Branch (February 12, 1849) constructed by the citizens of Aurora to Turner Junction, now known as West Chicago. This allowed a rail connection to Chicago via the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad (later, the C&NW, now the UP). On this date, the West Chicago Spur (as the Aurora Branch was listed in the CB&Q Employees Timetable) hosted a single train, known as the Irish Mail.I have not (yet) determined the origin of the name of this way freight, but there are a couple of possibilities. The early hand-powered three wheel velocipede used by track inspectors evolved into a four-wheel children's vehicle in the early 1900's, which became known as an Irish Mail. The story goes that in 1877, a mechanic, George Sheffield had a seven mile walk home down the railroad tracks from work. Over the winter he developed a rail scooter that consisted of a bicycle with a third wheel that served to balance the contraption. In typical American fashion he only avoided jail for trespassing on railroad property by noting a break in the tracks one night and saving a train from derailment. Or perhaps it obtained the name from the English mail train known by that name.Also seen is a three-window 28 foot waycar, class NE1 14060, a regular fixture on the Irish Mail. Built in 1885 at West Burlington, Iowa as 177, it became CB&Q 14060 and was destroyed at Eola on February 13, 1966. |

CB&Q SW1 9140 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad SW1 9140 at West Chicago, Illinois on February 28, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was the power for the Irish Mail, which traced the steps of the original route of the Chicago & Aurora Railroad. At its inception (chartered on February 12, 1849) the C&A was nothing more than about 12 miles of track built between Aurora and West Chicago. The C&A's connection to Chicago was on trackage rights on the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad, later the C&NW. Eventually, the C&A built its own right-of-way into Chicago, then becoming the CB&Q, and the first track built became relegated to branch line service from then on. The major interest of the CB&Q in West Chicago was the General Mills plant Note the Mars light mounted on the handrail. |

| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad SW1 9140 and 2-8-2 Class O-1-A 4978 at Eola, Illinois on May 22, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 4978 was cosmetically restored and donated to Mendota, Illinois for static display. Before it was presented to Mendota, it arrived in Eola for final preparation. It was shoved onto the turntable by GP7 226 (in the background) and pulled into the roundhouse by SW1 9140. There wasn't enough room on the turntable for two locomotives, so 9140 spent the evening in the roundhouse coupled to 4978. In the morning, the procedure was reversed, with 4978 given its last ride on a turntable. It will need to be turned around for its final display position facing west. |
