B&O Business Car 98
Title:  B&O Business Car 98
Description:  Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Business Car 98 westbound on the rear of a CB&Q steam fan trip at Naperville, Illinois, October 17, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This car was on a few of the steam excursions led by 4960. It is seen here on a round trip to Streator, departing Chicago at 9:00 AM DST, leaving Aurora at 10:10 AM, returning to Chicago at 6:30 PM. It was sponsored by the Illini Railroad Club, the fare was $7.50. A nice place to be sitting, in my opinion. The following is from the B&OHS publication, The Sentinel (Vol. 33, No. 2): Built by Pullman and delivered to the B&O on November 15, 1917 to Plan 3334 in Lot 4467 as the 99A, the car was quickly renumbered to 98 in 1918. A 1940 record shows the car assigned to F. G. Hoskins, general manager in Baltimore, and a 1958 record shows the car assigned to W. R. Galloway, general manager of the central region in Pittsburgh. In 1964 the car was back in Baltimore assigned to John Edwards, general manager Eastern Region. In 1955, the six-wheel trucks under the 98 were converted to roller bearing trucks at a cost of $5,205 (try to do that today for that amount of money). Those trucks are still under the car. Number 98 was sold in 1965 to Ralph Atlass of the Intermountain Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The car was left in Baltimore & Ohio paint, according to several pictures of it running on western railroads. Later an individual in Chattanooga, Tennessee, purchased the car and donated it to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga. The then-president of the TVRM named the car Eden Isle, but retained the number 98. The car remains at TVRM and is used by the museum for charters over its six-mile railroad from Grand Junction Station to East Chattanooga Station and Charters range from $600 to $1600 depending on the trip. While the interior of the car is much the way it was in B&O service, the outside is now painted in an attractive maroon with gold lettering and striping. In their history of the 98, the TVRM states the car was assigned to an executive vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio and that could explain its low number, since cars with numbers 97 to 100 were normally assigned to top executives. They also show the car being rebuilt by the railroad in 1935, but that has not been verified. That could have been when air conditioning was added to the car. It remains a mystery why the car was first numbered 99A. Perhaps it was intended to back up Daniel Willard’s car 99, since he was known to travel the railroad extensively in his position as president. It was long before Universal Machine Language Equipment Register requirements that there be no alphas in the number field. The 99A number appears to have been assigned to the car for less than a year.

B&O GP35 3542
Title:  B&O GP35 3542
Description:  Baltimore & Ohio Railroad GP35 3542 at an unknown location, Kodak date stamped September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I didn't travel much in 1979, so I think this was shot in the Chicago, Illinois area. It was unusual for me to not mark the slide mount, so I believe this was on the end of roll of film I was taking to the lab, and shot this on the way.

B&O GP40-2 4232
Title:  B&O GP40-2 4232
Description:  B&O GP40-2 4232 at Akron Junction, Akron, Ohio on March 4, 1983, photo by Chuck Zeiler. The building is Tower AY, the tracks the locomotives are on are former B&O rails between Warren and Columbus, Ohio, and the former PRR's Akron Branch, which split off of the ex-PRR Valley Main at Hudson, Ohio, and ran southwest through Akron and Orrville, ending at Columbus. The tracks below are B&O rails running between Chicago and Pittsburgh. Fred Stuckman offers the following additional information:

In this photo, the train is headed west on the New Castle Sub. which is the Pittsburgh-Chicago line. The tracks below are the old Cleveland line. It originates in Cleveland and winds its way through eastern Ohio and ends at the Ohio River across from Wheeling West Virginia. That line was originally called the CT&V (Cleveland Terminal & Valley, part of the B&O). The line today is abandoned from Urichsville Ohio to the river. CSX still owns a small portion in Cleveland, CVSR (Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad) from Cleveland to Akron, Metro, our bus company, from Akron to Canton. Wheeling & Lake Erie operates the Akron-Canton line for the industries and CVSR runs passenger excursions on it June through August. South of Canton, it's abandoned to Dover. From there to Urichsville is operated by RJ Corman. Finally, the Pennsy, CA&C (Cleveland Akron & Columbus, part of the old PRR) came onto the main just 100' or so to the left of that image at AY interlocking, and ran concurrent with the B&O until Warwick Ohio. (Clinton) From there, it would continue to Columbus. Each company owned one main track between AY and Warwick. From Hudson south, most of it is torn up. The track through Hudson is the Cleveland & Pittsburgh line. That has been PRR/PC/CR/NS, still quite active today. The tower/depot at Hudson still stands, but efforts to preserve it have failed and so it will be razed soon.

CSXT (B&O) GP40-2 6150
Title:  CSXT (B&O) GP40-2 6150
Description:  CSXT (B&O) GP40-2 6150 on the BN at Clyde, Illinois on February 5, 1988, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as B&O 4251 in February 1977 (c/n 767034-5) it appears to be B&O 6150, although it is likely CSXT 6150. This is a GP40-2, based on further discussion with Patrick Smith, see Comments below. A couple of sources indicate that the turbocharger may be de-activated and the unit de-rated to 2200 horsepower to get around some emission standards. However, this did not occur until at least sometime in the 2000's.

B&O GP9 6581
Title:  B&O GP9 6581
Description:  B&O GP9 6581 southbound on the IHB at McCook, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. For those of you not familiar with this neighborhood, about a mile behind 6581 (or, a mile ahead of 6653) is the birth place of most EMD locomotives until about 1980 or so, EMD's plant at La Grange. A heck of a lot of dead locomotives past by this location, either as new units being delivered, or trade-ins destined for Pielet Brothers Scrap Yard, located roughly across these tracks from EMD. I imagine that most locomotives breath a sigh of relief after they passed by Pielet Brothers. I marked the GP9 as B&O even though the letters C+O appear on the frame.

Title:  B&O GP30 6906
Description:  B&O GP30 6906 at about Archer and Western Avenues in Chicago, Illinois on March 7, 1987, photo by Chuck Zeiler. This locomotive was built in October 1962 (c/n 27623) on EMD Order 7628, eventually became CSXT 4110 and was later rebuilt to road slug CSXT 2289. Note the interesting mix of logos on the nose and the employee modification of the cab heater intake below the engineer's front window, covered over with red tape. This was one of the last manually controlled rail crossings in the city limits of Chicago, it was brought to my attention by an article in Trains Magazine, I will try to find the article.
