CB&Q (Burlington Route) E7A Running Fast Out of Chicago, 1971 by Steve Baldwin Via Flickr: “In March of 1971, EMD E7 9936, still lettered for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and paired with a sister A-unit, speeds out of Chicago's Union Station with an afternoon rush hour commuter train. The EMD E7 was a 2,000 horsepower A1A-A1A locomotive produced between 1945 and 1949 by GM's Electro Motive Division. 428 of these locomotives were produced, with 44 going to the CB&Q. Only one E7A unit survives today: Pennsylvania Railroad 5901, at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.”
