Bob -

CB&Q commuter service was completely dieselized in September, 1952 and the west 
end commuter terminal moved from Downers Grove to Aurora. You would have most 
likely had some type of EMD "E" unit (E7,E8 or E9)for power. Doubtful that an 
E5 or GP-7 would have been powering your train in 1961.

PS - I lived down the street from Bill Barber, right across from the yard on 
Warren Ave.
