CBQ E8 9974 and E9 9989B         
CB&Q E8 9974 and E9 9989B eastbound at Naperville, Illinois, March 12, 1965, photo by Chuck Zeiler. It was unusual for the two trains pictured to pause long enough for me to get two photos, here is the second shot. On the left is E8 9974 leading Train #108 stopping at most of the local stations between Naperville and Chicago, arriving at Union Station at 7:46AM. On the right is E9 9989B (the last E-unit delivered to the CB&Q) leading Train #110, skipping all the local stations after Lisle and Belmont, stopping next at Cicero, then all the local stations until arriving in Union Station at 7:35AM. Both are daily except Saturday and Sunday dinkys (commuter trains). The primary purpose of Train #110 was to transport the west suburban employees of Western Electric to work, who's plant was located close to the Cicero station. The time is approximately 6:52AM, #108 is scheduled to stop at Naperville at 6.53AM, and #110 is due at 6:51AM.
