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.

BNSF 3013, formerly a CB&Q GP40 but now a GP25M (whatever the hell that is) leads LCHI105 west at Lemont.
I've been collecting for about 2 years, but not until this year was when I really started getting unique and cool stuff. A lot of this stuff was traded for. I've only made 1-2 CB orders. Anyhow, very pleased with Citizen Brick's quality and hope to get more!

Ein Western-Windrad, Texasrad, auch Western-Windmühle l) oder Amerikanische(s) Windrad/-mühle genannt, ist ein auf einem Gittermast montiertes, vielflügeliges Windrad mit einer Fahne zur Windrichtungsnachführung. Diese in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts in Nordamerika entwickelte Windradbauart wurde und wird überwiegend als Pumpwerks-antrieb (Windpumpe, englisch windpump) zur Be- und Entwässerung, später auch zur Stromerzeugung verwendet. Eine weitere Anwendung ist das Belüften von Fischteichen über eine Membran- oder Luftfederbalg-Pumpe ganz oben im Mast der Windmühle.
A Western Wind Wheel, Texas Wheel, also called Western Wind Mill, or American Windmill, is a lattice-mast, multi-bladed windmill with a wind direction tracking flag. This type of wind turbine, which was developed in North America during the second half of the 19th century, was and is mainly used as a pumping station drive (wind pump) for irrigation and drainage, and later also for power generation. Another application is the aeration of fish ponds via a diaphragm or air bellows pump at the top of the mast of the windmill.
Last week we met up with Sean Bagshaw and Raynor Czerwinski for a hike near Crested Butte (both awesome dudes), the light towards Mt. Crested Butte wasn't grabbing my attention so I switched my focus to these red mountains and quickly found some columbines for a foreground element.
I focus stacked 30 images (overkill but it helped with the moving flowers) in Zerene stacker after Photoshop failed with the movement.
We will be headed to the San Juans this week to chase more wildflowers!
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 9906A on the Denver Zephyr at Adams City, Colorado on an unknown day, photograph by H. O'Hanlon, print by Gorgon C. Bassett, Chuck Zeiler collection. I roughed in the date as around late 1947 because of the trailing large numberboard E7, the last of which were delivered in 1949. However, in 1948 brake, signal and steam lines were added to the A units 9904-9907 so they could be operated as trailing units, so I surmised that the trailing E7 was one of those delivered in 1947.

Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad combined Denver Zephyr and California Zephyr on May 6, 1965, Kodachrome by Hol Wagner.
The Q bought its early F-unit in ABBA sets. Being a flatlander railroad it discovered for trains of the day it needed only three units. So it broke the ABBA sets in half and added an F7A to each half. Nice solution!
