Depending on the year of the photo there were several eastbound runs from the Galesburg mainline that would make some stops in suburban territory. W/o doing a search of ETTs one possibility could be the local from Mendota that was nicknamed "the shop train" as it brought many workers to the Aurora factories and the Q Aurora shops from points west before continuing on the east end as more or less a dinky.

WHAT local passenger run could it be?  Non-suburban passenger trains -- and some suburban trains, too -- carried at least one head-end car.  And in the late '40s-early '50s when this was likely taken, R-5s certainly were not being used in passenger service.  I would bet this was taken after the two NW2s had received ATC equipment and so it was only needed for the run to Sterling when one of the diesels was out of service.

Not an excursion. Local passenger run.

Joe Quinn is selling this negative of Q 2052 with C&NW ATC equipment, operating in Q suburban territory with three standard heavyweight coaches -- not suburban coaches. An excursion maybe?
