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 9227, a 1946 NW2 with a train of Christmas colors, westbound in Clarendon Hills, IL on December 31, 1969. She became BN 524.
