CB&Q VO-1000 9377 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad VO-1000 9377 at North Kansas City, Missouri on June 21, 1964, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This locomotive was built during November 1944 (c/n 70319) and traded in for new power during April 1965. It was delivered with a single exhaust stack, and at some point received a four stack modification to fix an overheating problem. The construction (serial) numbers for the CB&Q VO-1000's are not always sequential because Baldwin was restricted to building locomotives of 1000 horsepower or less by the War Production Board (WPB) during World War II, and the WPB would dole out the finished locomotives on an as-needed basis. |
