CB&Q E8A 9966 and 2 E7 sisters elephant style with the westbound California Zephyr in Downers Grove, IL on August 19, 1965 and built in 1952 and became BN 9966.
647/112-CB Dassault Mirage F1CR, Escadron ER02.033 'Savoie' / Escadrille BR244 'Léopard, Base Aérienne 112 Reims-Champagne Air Base, Armée de l'Air.
One of a pair of Reims based Mirage F1CR's, seen here departing for home after appearing in the static display at RIAT 2009. Although this jet is marked up as an ER02.033 jet, it was actually being operated by sister squadron ER01.033 'Belfort'.
ER01.033 disbanded in 2011 when Reims closed. ER02.033 moved to Mont-de Marsan as the final active F1 sqaudron, that disbanded in 2014.
Both have subsequently stood back up at Cognac as Escadron de Drones operating the MQ-09A Reaper.
The F1 really was such a good looking jet. Another gem from the Dassault stable.
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.
Third entry for the small starfighter challenge
Pretty satisfied but I have to find some better original ideas for my next starfighters

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.

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.
