Title:
CB&Q S2 9300
Description:
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad Alco S2 9300 at Schenectady, New York, April 1943. This is obviously a builder's photo. It shows the first Alco delivered to the CB&Q, c/n 70271. There are plaques attached to the rails, below the rear truck is the date, April 1943, and below the front truck is the order number, S1885. It was one of nine Alco S2's delivered to the CB&Q during World War II. Delivered in three groups, the first two were assigned to service around the Chicago area, bumped from Chicago assignments by the Baldwin VO-1000's. The Alco's eventually were distributed around the system, finally, all were based in Denver until retired in the late 1960's.
