CRI&P F9M 4164
Title:  CRI&P F9M 4164
Description:  Rock Island F9M 4164 sometime in 1976 in eastern Oklahoma, Ektachrome by Steve Laser, Chuck Zeiler collection. This is a slide I acquired in trade, there were no markings on the slide mount. The only locomotive I can identify for sure is the trailing unit. Number 4164 was built in January 1948 as UP F3 1415A ( c/n 4620 ) on EMD Order E818A. It was renumbered to 1415, then renumbered again to 1517. During January 1959 it was rebuilt by EMD to F9M 534, retaining most of the F3 carbody features, sold to the Rock Island in February 1972, becoming 4164, and was traded to EMD in mid-1976. Paul L. Strang notes that F7 124 was leading.

CB&Q 163ABC* and Dinky in 1964
Title:  CB&Q 163ABC* and Dinky in 1964
Description:  *Note, there is actually no way to tell if the F3s are 163BC because two other F3s could have been hooked on that day. Assuming they are, then we have 163A F7A blt 1950, 163BC F3B F3A blt 1948 and a 2 car Dinky. This is no doubt the Fairview Av Interlocking.

CB&Q F7 163A
Title:  CB&Q F7 163A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F7 163A westbound at Naperville, Illinois on August 10, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in May 1950 (c/n 9692) on EMD Order 3021, was wrecked at Tecumseh, Nebraska on July 5, 1968, and traded as credit on an order for SD45's in February 1969. It is seen here westbound on Track 3 on what, for a few minutes, was a very busy piece of railroad. Normally, Track 3 was for eastbound moves, although it was signalled for movement in either direction. When the gates started ringing, I grabbed my camera and shot the arriving Dinky (commuter train), which according to the CB&Q Employees Timetable #10 (effective April 25, 1965) was Train #111, on Track 1, the usual westbound track. The gates did not go up after the Dinky, and I saw two approaching headlights. The next train was westbound #25, the North Coast Limited, on Track 2. As #25 was passing, F7 163A passed by on Track 3. Most likely this freight will cross over behind #25 at Eola, about 5 or 6 miles further west. It certainly was an interesting couple of minutes.

Title:  CB&Q F7 163A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F7 163A at Plano, Illinois on March 20, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This unit was wrecked at Tecumseh, NE 7/7/68. Number 163A was delivered to the CB&Q during May 1950 (c/n 9692) as part of EMD Order 3021 for four A-units. These four units were mated to a F3 A-B set producing drawbar-connected F7A-F3B-F3A locomotive 163-166. The F7's were assigned the suffix "A", and the F3A was assigned the suffix "C", although the suffix was not displayed in the numberboard until the mid-1960's when the drawbars were replaced with couplers.

It remained in this configuration until a few months after this photo, when the drawbars were removed and replaced with couplers. At that time, the glass-beaded numberboard between the headlights was removed and the number with the letter A suffix was painted in its place. It was traded in as credit on an order of SD45's in February 1969.

CB&Q F7 164A
Title:  CB&Q F7 164A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F7 164A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on July 28, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I was fortunate to be able to read the model plate on the side of the locomotive, identifying it as an F7. Otherwise, I could not tell the difference between a Phase IV F3 and a Phase I F7, since EMD utilized the same carbody for both models. The following is from the Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin #10:

In May 1950, the CB&Q proper acquired its only F7's - 10 A's and three B's. These units had a 36 inch diameter dynamic brake fan ahead of the four radiator fans, thus differentiating them from the Phase IV F3's. Nine of the F7's were numbered as three-unit drawbar-coupled A/B/A sets 167-169, while the other four A's were 163A through 166A. With the delivery of the F7's, two of the previously delivered four-unit F3 sets (137A-D and 138A-D) were broken up and reassembled with the remaining single F7 A-units to make up three-unit F3-A/F3-B/F7-A sets 163 through 166. The renumbering went as follows: 137A became 163C, 137B became 163B, 137C became 164B, 137D became 164C, 138A became 165C, 138B became 165B, 138C became 166B, 138D became 166C. The units in these F3-7 sets matched well, the only outwardly visible difference between the A-units being in the rooftop dynamic brakes. From the ground, the 163-166 sets appeared identical the pure F7 sets 167-169. Later, most of them were split into separate units, coupler equipped at both ends. The three-unit A/B/A sets were not split up until well into the 1960's, with the 167 trio finally being broken up into individual units late in 1965. Suffix letters had been assigned to the locomotives for maintenance purposes, but only appeared in small 1 inch lettering on the side below the word BURLINGTON, until the locomotives were broken up and equipped with couplers at both ends.

CB&Q F7 164A
Title:  CB&Q F7 164A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F7 164A at Clyde, Illinois on October 31, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Thic locomotive was built in May 1950 (c/n 9693) and traded to EMD in February 1969. It was delivered as 164 and mated with two F3's previously delivered as 137C and 137D. The F3's were renumbered as 164, and were semi-permanently coupled to the newly delivered F7 to form a single locomotive numbered 164. Suffix letters were assigned to the individual units for maintenance purposes, but not displayed in the numberboards. As delivered, the cab units had glass-beaded numberboards below the top headlight. Sometime between July 28 and October 31, 1965, this locomotive was shopped and the drawbars were replaced with couplers, the glass-beaded numberboards were removed, and the road number with the suffix was painted below the top headlight. The suffix letters were added to the numberboards, and a suffix letter was added to the side number below the side cab window. It is seen here still coupled to the original F3's to which it was assigned, former 137C and 137D, now 164B and 164C.

Title:  CB&Q F7 165
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F7 165 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on April 20, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. Although all three units were considered a single locomotive by the CB&Q ( they were drawbar-connected) , the lead cab unit is 165A ( note dynamic brake fan on roof ), the suffix was applied on the sides in small one-inch lettering below the word BURLINGTON, for maintenace purposes. The trailing units are F3's, previously delivered as 138B and 138A. Later, these units were broken up, couplers replaced the drawbars, and the suffix letter was applied to the side numbers and to the numberbaords. This shows the as-delivered beaded numberboard applied between the headlights and the coupler covers in the open position, however, the EMD fuel tank skirts have been removed.

CB&Q 165ABC in 1964
Title:  CB&Q 165ABC in 1964
Description:  Early F units usually came in set of 4, i.e., ABBA. The CB&Q found that for most trains on its mostly flat railroad ABA sets were sufficient so the ABBAs were broken into ABs with another newer A added. On the CB&Q an ABBA set was lettered ABCD and an ABA set was lettered ABC. In this picture we see CB&Q 165A, an F7A and 165B and C, F3Bs. The train is the early morning "Pick Up" at Milledgeville, IL (122 miles from Chicago on the Twin Cities Line). If the train had a number, it was never used on the dispatcher's line. Yes it is a heck of a train to be doing local switching, but it did weekdays.

CB&Q F7 165A
Title:  CB&Q F7 165A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F7 165A, eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on August 12, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in May 1950 (c/n 9694) on EMD Order 3021A, it was traded to EMD for SD45's in February 1969. It is seen here off the main line after setting out cars at Kroehler Mfg. Co., the plant in the background. Normally this would be handled by a single locomotive assigned to the daily East End Way Freight, but for some reason the way freight did not run on this date, and road power did the switching.
