Located only 24 km from Broken Hill (1,183 km west of Sydney), Silverton has become a popular destination for both tourists and film crews.
The tourists come to experience a real ghost town and consequently there are a number of shops, art galleries, museums and pubs which have grown up to meet their needs. Its location to the Outback (drive a few kilometres out of town to ‘The Breakers‘ and marvel at Mundi Mundi Plains and the desert which stretches to the horizon) and its proximity to all the creature comforts of Broken Hill have ensured Silverton is popular with travellers and film crews needing to shoot desert and outback scenes.
Silverton, originally called Umberumberka, came into existence in the early 1880’s, proclaimed as a town in 1883, the same year it got a post office, and within a few years support a population of 3,000 people.

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 Blackbird GP7 218 built Sept. 1951 became BN 1574 and retired Aug. 1983 with the East End Way Freight in Westmont, IL on July 15, 1966.
Well, not quite. Let me explain.
CB&Q 9960C & 9960B are seen working the eastbound tracks in Eola Yard on September 1, 1964. In the photo the 3-track race track is above them. The westbound yard above that.
This F3A and B were part of three sets of ABA F3s bought in 1947 for new California Zephyr because the WP and DRG&W were going to use F units. Because they did not fit well into the E-unit rotation the Q used for intercity and suburban passenger trains, they were regeared for freight operation and their steam generators were removed. They retainwed their passenger diesel 9900 series number. However, in this lashup, the third unit is an F7A.
But it's more fun to think of them in their glory zephyring the CZ in the middle of the night to reach Chicago or Denver on the morrow.
I bet that's how they thought of themselves that September day.

Construction Bot - Model 42s were always very robust, reliable, and relatively affordable for many construction companies. However, what these companies didn't know, was that the CB-42s had uniquely weak CPU security, allowing the bots' behavior to be modified by a skilled programmer.
This particular bot was stripped of much of its protective armor in favor for speed and agility, and fitted for close-quarters melee combat.
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Collector at Naperville, Illinois on an unknown day in February 1965, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Only a month or so earlier this gentleman, Roger Taylor, was a Brakeman on the East End Way Freight, but complained about being out in the cold weather, so he transferred to the Passenger Department. He took a bit of grief from the way freight crew about his "monkey suit".
