| Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad NW2 9400A at Bevier, Missouri on August 14, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. It is seen here leased to the Bevier & Southern, arriving in 1962 to replace 4943, perhaps the last operating CB&Q steam locomotive in revenue service, excepting the two fan trip engines. This locomotive was built on Order E912 in October 1947 as the cab unit of EMD's TR2 demonstrator EMD 912A (c/n 5514). The CB&Q purchased a total of 14 TR2 sets, including the demonstrator, and in 1954, sent the B-units back to EMD for installation of cabs. The TR2/NW2's in the 9400 number series were the only NW2's on the CB&Q equipped with MU plugs. It eventually became BN 546 and was retired in May 1983. |
