Re: [CBQ] Q U25C's

Ah the memories.......

Called at Savanna for one of those everything but the kitchen sink extras around the horn in the middle of the night. Yours truly a veteran of maybe six months as head brkmn,extra Condr and extra rear brkmn with a seasoned engineer in his usual eastbound condition. He actually had the time card out so he could verify where he was at during the run. A real confidence builder for a greenhorn brkmn. 

Not only did the train arrive safe and sound at HY but on top of that at Deer Grove the hogger noticed the station had been removed from the ETT and discussed it on the radio.

How far the industry has come in only 40 years !

Thanks for looking, Leo. My sympathies. I had too many trips with unsteady Teddy. And he was always worse eastbound after the layover if you know what I mean. Everything about a Uboat was awful - starting with the near vertical climb with a grip. And the weird throttle, the acceleration like a turtle, the ride.....

Doug,

I dug out the time books.............yes we sure had those pieces of xxxx on the C&I

2/20/13-5413 a U25B on #182

2/25/73-5450/5465 both U 28Bs on 181. That had to be a wonderful trip

3/13/73-5475 a U 30b on #98

3/29/73-5422 a U 25B along with 2523 a GP 35 on #98. Imagine the transition between those two units ! Condr Colgan and Eng Cox. Need I say more ?

Karl, Leo - we certainly had those awful U-boats on the C and I. Were they later models than what is being asked about? Doug

Tom,

The 1990 paperback book The "Q" from the North Western Illinois Chapter of the NRHS has a picture from Mike Schafer showing U-28Cs on a train at Stratford in February 1970.
