Thaks Charlie for "exposing" us to this film..It's superb.   While the narrator was declaiming on the advantages of diesel power i remembered one time that my grandfther was telling me about a conversation he had with someone pretty well up in the Burlilngton's "hierarchy" regarding the advantages of diesel power which My GF thought was certainly the "coming thing" and the Q executive said..."The day when the Burlington Railroad will have to use an internal combustion engine to move freight will be a really bad day.  Well I guess everybody at the Q didn't think that way.  

I was trying to ID  some of the Q locations, but didn't do  well with that effort.  

There were still lots of Motor cars still operating  when I was growing up and even in the early days of my railroad career.

Thanks again.

Pete

Subject: [CBQ] EMC 1938 Promotional Film

All-

This link to a 1938 EMC promotional film was posted in Chicago Arear

Railroad Historians.  It contains a number of CB&Q subjects:

9900

9901 or 2

9904 

9906 or 7

9737

9132, 9133, & 9134 at Western Avenue

    Shots show the Western Avenue Suburban Engine Shed in the

background!!! 

    Also cab interior shot pans the Western Avenue yard carbody

    One shot shows a BRC 0-8-0 making a delivery to Western Avenue Yard

    An unidentified steam engine backs into the Western Avenue Yard that

has a centered headlight (likely not CB&Q)

    S4a 3007 is shown being coaled at Western Avenue and on turntable

Nice film!!!
