Re: [CBQ] Location?

I guess that is the location.  The aerial photo from 1933 shows the small shed to the right of the tower right where it should be.  We apparently can't see US30.  Photo is from ILHAP historic aerial photography website.

Dave:

That image appears on p. 85 of Karl Zimmerman's Zephyr book.  It's identified as a Chicago-Dubuque excursion trip operated on March 17, 1940 using the Silver Streak Zephyr equipment before it was placed into regular service.  The train is westbound between Waterman and Shabbona, IL and has just crossed C&NW's Sycamore-Spring Valley line.

Hi all,

 

Attached is an image of the 9909 on its first trip from Chicago to Denver. Can anyone identify the location where the photo was taken?
