The CB&Q East-End Way Freight -- 6 Photos
The East End of the CB&Q ran from Aurora Tower at the Station (both long gone) through western Chicago Suburbs to Union Avenue Tower (long gone) at the west end of the wye south of Chicago Union Station. The East-End Way Freight worked most of that territory. I lived in Westmont, one of those suburbs in the 1950s and 60s and took many pictures of that Way freight. Here are three for starters.
CB&Q 250 was eastbound with the East-End Way Freight on April 6, 1965 in Westmont, IL. This Greybird GP7 was built 1952.
