CB&Q 8903
Title:  CB&Q 8903
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 8903 at Galesburg, Illinois on August 14, 1977, photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society Bulletin Number 6, CENTER-CABS, edited by Hol Wagner. When Porter 8902 at the Galesburg tie plant finally wore out and was retired in late 1964, the 9107 ( built by GE in February 1941 c/n 12952 ) was moved to Galesburg ( from Nebraska ) as a replacement. Renumbered 8903, it was outfitted with the large buffer plates removed from the 8902. The 8903 was withdrawn from service in 1974 and sat forlornly in the Galesburg yard until late 1977, when it was finally scrapped.

CB&Q GE 44 Ton 9103
Title:  CB&Q GE 44 Ton 9103
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GE 44 Ton 9103 at Monmouth, Illinois on May 30, 1958, photographer unknown, duplicate slide by Al Chione, Chuck Zeiler collection. The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society Bulletin Number 6, CENTER-CABS, edited by Hol Wagner.

The 9103, a single-unit order, was constructed in August 1940 ( c/n 12908 ) and delivered on September 4, the very first GE 44-tonner delivered. Milwaukee Road 1690 was also built in August, but it was delivered 10 days after 9103. Number 9103 was delivered in a very plain solid black but was soon repainted. It was withdrawn from service in 1969 and stored at Galesburg. The BN renumbered 9103 to BN 1 in July 1970 then was sold for scrap in November to Precision Engineering.

CB&Q GE 44 Ton 9104
Title:  CB&Q GE 44 Ton 9104
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GE 44 Ton 9104 at Red Oak, Iowa on April 26, 1958, photographer unknown, duplicate slide by Al Chione, Chuck Zeiler collection. The following is excerpted from Burlington Route Historical Society Bulletin Number 6, CENTER-CABS, edited by Hol Wagner.

Number 9104 was built in February 1941 ( c/n 12949 ) and along with 9105, 9106, and 9107, were the first Burlington center-cabs to come from the builder in the "new" paint scheme of black and gray with red and yellow striping. The little GE's held down switching and branch line assignments in eastern Nebraska, central Illinois, and all through Iowa. Reassignments were common. The 9104 later worked several assignments in Illinois, finally stored at West Burlington in 1969. It was assigned road number 4 by the BN ( not applied ), and was cut up at Chalen's Inc. scrapyard at the east end of the shop complex during September 1970.

CB&Q GE 44 Ton 9105
Title:  CB&Q GE 44 Ton 9105
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GE 44 Ton 9105 at Kewanee, Illinois on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a grab shot from a passing steam excursion. I was either hanging out of a baggage car door or one of the many open vestibule dutch doors. I almost threw this slide out, but changed my mind, thinking it might be handy some day. How do I know it was 9105? I don't from the image, that's what wrote on the slide mount, so I'm sticking with it. Number 9105 was built by GE in February 1941 ( c/n 12950 ) assigned to Kewanee in its third and final decade of service, later it became BN 2, but never worked for the BN.

CB&Q 44 Ton 9106
Title:  CB&Q 44 Ton 9106
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad GE 44 ton 9106, my best guess is Lincoln, Nebraska, the slide is unlabeled except for the date, August, 1963, photographer unknown, but my best guess is Dick Rumbolz, Chuck Zeiler collection. This was the only CB&Q GE 44 ton to actually operate on the BN. The BN had renumbered a few of the 44 tonners it inherited from the Burlington, but #'s 1,2, and 4 never actually operated, although #'s 1 and 2 did receive their numbers. The following is from Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin #6, CENTERCABS:

When Porter 8902 at the Galesburg tie plant finally wore out and was retired in late 1964, the 9107 was moved to Galesburg as a replacement. Renumbered 8903, it was outfitted with the large buffer plates removed from the 8902. All five 44 tonners (9103 - 9107) were still on the roster at the time of the BN merger, but only two were actually still in service: 8903 at Galesburg and 9106 at Superior Nebraska. The only 44 tonner to actually operate on the BN was 9106 renumbered 3 shortly after the merger. It was used in and around Superior Nebraska. When the C&NW's Lincoln - Superior branch suffered a washout, rather than repair the damage, the North Western suspended service south of the missing bridge until shippers protested. The C&NW then arranged for its Superior agent to drive to the last town north of the washout, pick up the crew of the local, and bring them to Superior. The North Western crew worked the isolated end of the branch using BN 3, bring all the cars into Superior. Unfortunately the BN did not want the unit, so it was sold to Birmingham Rail & Locomotive Co. in April 1971, and the unusual operation ended. The 44 tonner was quickly resold, going to northern California's Camino Placerville & Lake Tahoe. During 1971 and 1972, the shortline rebuilt the locomotive, using the hoods from its Phase V 44 tonner 101 - still numbered as such. By mid-1974 the unit was renumbered 102 and lettered for the parent Michigan - California Lumber Co. It remained in use at last report.
