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.
