CB&Q 130AB |
Description: |
I wrote nothing but the date and "130AB" on the slide, so here is a good guess about what you are looking at. Photo shot from a dome on the westbound Morning Zephyr (the sun reflection is a big hint) somewhere on the CTC single track main east of Savanna and west of Aurora. 130A is in the hole. Since the freight is short and the brakeman is getting on and watching the Zephyr, I assume this is the local morning (Savanna to Eola) freight called the Pick Up done with its work here. I was deadheading to Saint Paul to work Oakland Tower for the Q. I worked as a leverman, operator, and/or station agent for the Q for two summers during college. |

Any information on this tower would be appreciated. Why is there a derail right in front of it. My guess is so a trains doesn't get too close and the tower falls on it. |

Waiting for the Rain |
Description: |
This has to be the EB Afternoon Zephyr but my notes don't show the train number (see comments below). The exact E7A is unknown. Note the Roundhouse and State Capitol above the last car and the GN diesels to the right. Part of the St. Paul skyline is to the left. The first dome car is the original home-made dome, named Silver Dome with unique dome shape and no lowered floor beneath the dome because it was a coverted coach. The shot was taken at Division Street Tower and the train is about 2 minutes out of St. Paul Union Station. If you look over the last dome you can see the Capitol dome. See comments below. |
