CB&Q S2 9300 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Alco S2 9300 at Schenectady, New York, April 1943. This is obviously a builder's photo. It shows the first Alco delivered to the CB&Q, c/n 70271. There are plaques attached to the rails, below the rear truck is the date, April 1943, and below the front truck is the order number, S1885. It was one of nine Alco S2's delivered to the CB&Q during World War II. Delivered in three groups, the first two were assigned to service around the Chicago area, bumped from Chicago assignments by the Baldwin VO-1000's. The Alco's eventually were distributed around the system, finally, all were based in Denver until retired in the late 1960's. |

CB&Q S2 9302 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad S2 9302 with shutters closed at Denver Union Station on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built on Order S1915 for the Bingham & Garfield, diverted to the CB&Q by the War Production Board. The Burlington Northern anticipated using these locomotives and allotted road numbers 925-933, but they were traded to GE before the merger was consumated. The intended number series remained vacant. Although GE accepted the S2's as trade-in credit on nine U23C's, the switchers were sent directly to Precision Engineering Co., of Mount Vernon, Illinois, where all but one were scrapped and the usable parts stockpiled. |

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad S2 9302 at Denver Union Station on August 27, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. As it turned out, the nine Alco S2's allotted to the CB&Q during WWII were the only Alco diesel locomotives acquired by the CB&Q. They gave it their best shot trying to apply the CB&Q stripes to the Alco radiator shutters. |

CB&Q S2 9305 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad S2 9305 at Denver, Colorado on August 26, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built during December 1943 (c/n 71300) on Order S1915, it was intended for the Bingham & Southern, but was diverted by the War Production Board to the CB&Q, one of nine S2's allotted to the Q (9300-9308). When delivered (along with 9302, 9303, and 9304) these locomotives were placed in service in Lincoln, Nebraska. After the war, the Alcos were reassigned to Denver, where they remained until retired, this one retired in September 1969. All were sold to General Electric as credit on new U23C's, but were re-sold by GE to Precision National Corporation, and all except 9300 were scrapped and their usable parts stockpiled. |

CB&Q S2 9307 |
| Description: |
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad S2 9307 at Denver Union Station on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in March 1944 (c/n 69871) and was retired in October 1969 and traded to GE for new power. However, GE sold this locomotive and all rest of CB&Q's Alco S2's to Precision National Corp, and the Alcos were shipped to Mt. Vernon, Illinois, and with the exception of #9300 all were scrapped and the usable parts stockpiled. It is seen here about to back down to couple to the rear of the CB&Q's Denver Zephyr (DZ) and add the Colorado Springs connection cars to the train. I was fortunate to ride the DZ in the summer of 1964. The connection to Colorado Springs consisted of a Vista-Dome chair car, a 10-6 Pullman sleeper, a Slumbercoach and a "Chuck Wagon" Vista-Dome buffet-lounge, and on this particular day, a borrowed GN coach. These cars were hauled from Denver to Colorado Springs and return on the D&RGW's Royal Gorge. Upon return to Denver, the CB&Q's station switcher would disassemble the waiting DZ, take the rear cars over to the track the Royal Gorge was on, couple to the rear cars of the Royal Gorge (the Colorado Springs connection cars), and reassemble the DZ for the trip to Chicago. This gave me the opportunity to jump off and snap a couple of photos. |
