CB&Q NW2 9224         
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9224 eastbound at Naperville, Illinois on December 2, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in August 1946 (c/n 3620) on EMD Order E699, became BN 521, and was retired in August 1983. It is seen here on the eastbound East End Way Freight (Clearance Form A would address this train as Extra 9224 East). Having finished switching Naperville, the train is headed east against normal traffic on Track 1, which usually hosted westbound traffic. The way freight will likely leave the main at Downers Grove, freeing Track 1 for westbound Dinkys (commuter trains).
