CB&Q F3 9960C
Title:  CB&Q F3 9960C
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 9960C at Eola, Illinois on February 7, 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This shows 2/3rds of the first set of F3's purchased specifically for California Zephyr assignment. The rear F unit is either a late model F3 or F7. The three A-B-A F3 locomotives (numbered 9960ABC, 9961ABC, and 9962ABC) were obtained in 1947 and assigned to the CZ, the only F units on the CB&Q equipped with steam generators. After they were bumped from the CZ by E units, the 9960-2 F units were re-geared for freight service, repainted from the original Aluminum passenger paint to the freight paint seen here, but kept their passenger series numbers to the end.

CB&Q F3 9961A
Title:  CB&Q F3 9961A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 9961A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on July 15, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. Built in Octoier 1947 (c/n 4426) on EMD Order E791 for three sets of F3 A-B-A locomotives intended for the California Zephyr. These were the only F units on the Burlington equipped with steam generators and lacking dynamic brakes. By the ea~ly 1950's they were bumped from Zephyr service and regeared and repainted for freight service, but retained their passenger series numbers. It appears that cab 9961C must have failed and needed"maintenance, as this A-B set is pictured here with a B unit, either a Phase IV F3 or an F7. Records indicate that 9961C was traded in July 1963, and 9961A and B lasted a couple more months, bejng traded in October 1963.

Title:  CB&Q F3 9961A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 9961A eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on July 15, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. Built in October 1947 ( c/n 4426 ) on EMD Order E791 for three sets of F3 A-B-A locomotives intended for the California Zephyr. These were the only F units on the Burlington equipped with steam generators and lacking dynamic brakes. By the early 1950's they were bumped from Zephyr service and regeared and repainted for freight service, but retained their passenger series numbers. It appears that cab 9961C must have failed and/or needed maintenance, as this A-B set is pictured here with a B unit, either a Phase IV F3 or an F7. Records indicate that 9961C was traded in July 1963, and 9961A and B lasted a couple more months, being traded in October 1963.

CB&Q F3 9962A
Title:  CB&Q F3 9962A
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad F3 9962A westbound at Milepost 28 east of Naperville, Illinois on July 10, 1963, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. This unit was built in October 1947 (c/n 4428) and retired and traded to EMD on an order of GP35's September 1963. The Burlington ordered three sets of A-B-A F3's for the California Zephyr on EMD Order E791A and E791B (the B-Units) , equipped with steam generators but no dynamic brakes. When deliverd, they were painted in Aluminum paint with the black "whisker" passenger stripes. They were once the pride of the Burlington's passenger motive power, but by 1955, they were regeared for freight service and painted in the freight paint scheme, retaining their passenger series numbers. This is one of my earlier train photos, shot on Kodak Tri-X film. It was a grainy film, but fast, ASA 400. This locomotive is seen here two months before retirement.
