[CBQ] Re: Current Engine painted in old "Way of the Zephyrs" paint scheme

[William Barber <clipperw@gmail.com>]

Jim,

Are you talking about Central Illinois Railroad SW9 #1206. It was  
recently painted in the CB&Q blackbird paint scheme (except for  
lettering) by RR employees. Here is a link to a photo of it: http:// 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_SW9.

  It also recently appeared in a Trains Magazine photo. Search  
"Central Illinois Railroad" for a complete description of the line  
which operates some leased BNSF trackage that was once owned by the  
Q. The locomotive itself, was originally Belt Railway of Chicago.
