D&RGW PA1 6001
Title:  D&RGW PA1 6001
Description:  D&RGW VO-660 72 and PA1 6001 at Colorado Springs, Colorado, August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The switcher will pick up the cars setout after the first dome in this photo. This is Train #1 on both the CB&Q and D&RGW. The Rio Grande's Number 1, The Royal Gorge, will continue west and the switcher will put the setout cars onto the back of their freight cars and drag them over to the other side of town, a true mixed train. This is how the CB&Q managed the Colorado Springs Connection. It wasn't a bad deal; you got to ride all the way from Chicago to Colorado Springs without leaving your bedroom compartment on the train. You were assured of meal service because the CB&Q sent their Chuck Wagon dome diner along on the connection from Denver to Colorado Springs. They generally switched 3-4 cars to the Rio Grande's #1 to get them moved to Colorado Springs. I had the pleasure of that trip when I was 16. Sadly, I did not get to enjoy a ride on the mixed train, but my parents indulged me enough to get a couple of photos, here's one.

Title:  D&RGW PA1 6001
Description:  D&RGW PA1 6001 at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is Train #1, The Royal Gorge, which departed Denver at 9:00 AM, Mountain Standard Time, and arrived in Colorado Springs at 10:40 AM. Ten minutes was allowed for the station stop during which the CB&Q's Denver Zephyr cars were cut off the train. Note the blue flag (sign) hanging in the Engineer's window. After the DZ cars are uncoupled, #1 will continue on to Pueblo and then terminate at Salida at 3:15 PM. The DZ cars will be moved to the other side of town by the Rio Grande's switcher and picked up by the returning The Royal Gorge, Train #2, and forwarded to Denver where they will be cut into the waiting Denver Zephyr for the final leg of the journey to Chicago.

SP PA1 6006
Title:  SP PA1 6006
Description:  SP PA1 6006, Ogden Utah, October 3, 1958, photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. Sometimes mistaken for a PA3, a model never built by Alco, this locomotive was built as a PA1 in 1948. Due to renumbering in 1949, my best guess is that 6006 was built as 6005C. The following is from the book, A Centennial Remembrance, by Richard T. Steinbrenner (c.2003, On Track Publishers, ISBN: 0911122-07-9): The SPs Pacific Lines basic acquisition policy of A-B-A sets continued to be followed with the PA-2/PB-2 orders. Alco delivered two sets in August-September 1950. By then the SP was using a new numbering system; the PAs continued in the 6000 series, and the PBs were numbered in the 5900 series. The PA-1/PB-1s numbered in the 6000 A-B-C sequence were renumbered into the new scheme, as were the subsidiaries PA-1 units. The SP came back for two more sets in April 1952, and then, in Alcos last big order for PA/PBs, for two batches, which were delivered in June-July and September-October 1953. The first batch was three sets of the usual A-B-As, but the second batch of 12 units was all PAs, equipped with standard Alco pilots. For most of their careers, the SPs Pacific Lines PA/PBs were assigned to the West Oakland Shops for maintenance although for a while seven of the final units were assigned to Taylor Yard in Los Angeles for Coast Line service to San Francisco. While the PA/PBs also operated on the San Joaquin Division on occasion, their principal assignments were on the Shasta Daylight and Cascade trains between San Francisco-Oakland and Portland, OR, and on the Overland route between Ogden, UT and San Francisco-Oakland. Beginning with the 1952 deliveries, the PA-2s came from Alco without pilots, enabling the SP to apply its own design snowplow pilots, built at the Sacramento Shops. The 1953 units incorporated the Model 244G prime mover, which included the new water-cooled turbochargers (Alco Model 710), and had distinctive stainless steel moldings around the windshields. In the meantime, maintenance costs of the 1948-49 PA-1/PB-1s had become problematic, and from July 1952 to March 1953 the West Oakland Shops replaced all their prime movers with 2250 hp Model 244Ds at the rate of four units per month. With the completion of the program, all the SP units were essentially PA-2/PB-2s. In 1956 the SP undertook a modernization program to encompass its entire PA/PB fleet. The prototypes were six high mileage units, which were stripped down to the frame and truss supports, then sandblasted down to bare metal. With GEs guidance, the SP had designed a new electrical equipment cabinet, greatly modernized and simplified. The new cabinets were preassembled and installed into the frame and truss from overhead. All of the previous wiring that snaked through the underframe was replaced and run in the engineroom overhead in troughs for ease of maintenance. Plug electrical connectors were replaced by screw connector blocks for greater reliability. The control equipment was upgraded and repackaged into compartments that featured greater accessibility. The first unit through was #6021, and by June, a three-unit set was ready for road testing. The Sacramento Shops proceeded to rebuild the entire PA/PB fleet in this manner. Externally, the most obvious effect of the upgrade was the application of Farr-Aire grills to all units that did not already have them (Alco had phased in the application of the Farr-Aire grills on the last order for 18 units to the MP in June-July 1952, which eliminated the PAs signature drip strip and horizontal slatted carbody grill). However, on the SP units, the Farr-Aire grills were not continuous along the side; rather solid panels were fixed between the grill sections.

D&RGW PA1 6011
Title:  D&RGW PA1 6011
Description:  D&RGW PA1 6011 northbound on Train # 2, The Royal Gorge, arriving at Colorado Springs, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note the crew of the switcher coming to work, in the lower right center of this photo. Also known as "hurry up and wait", trains didn't always arrive on their advertised time, so sometimes you waited. On the left is the cab and hood of D&RGW Baldwin VO-660 72. I'm 16 years old and standing on the steps of a Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad sleeper, shooting a train that the sleeper car will soon be attached to. The CB&Q had a connection from Denver to Colorado Springs (CS), and the connection cars would be removed from the arriving Denver Zephyr at Denver and attached to the rear of the D&RGW Train # 1, The Royal Gorge, for the connection move to CS. I vacationed with my parents in the summer of 1964, and on the last day of the vacation, they allowed me to hang around at the two railroad stations in CS. I photographed the removal of the connection at the D&RGW station and the re-connection to the returning Train # 2, also The Royal Gorge, which took us back to Denver for re-attachment to the DZ (Train # 10) for return to our home in the Chicago area.

D&RGW PA1 6011
Title:  D&RGW PA1 6011
Description:  D&RGW PA1 6011 at Denver, Colorado on August 20, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was Train # 2, the Royal Gorge, daily train between Denver, Pueblo, and Salida (as Train # 1) and return (as Train # 2). It's about 4:00 PM MST, and # 2 has just arrived. Attached to the rear were cars from CB&Q's Denver Zephyr, which this train picked up in Colorado Springs. Upon arrival in Denver a CB&Q Alco S2 switcher removed the Zephyr cars and cut them into the waiting CB&Q Train # 10, the eastbound Denver Zephyr, part of which can bee seen on the far left side. Once the brakes are tested, the Zephyr will depart for its overnight run to Chicago. I was fortunate to be a 16 year old passenger on both trains, and never slept a wink all the way to Chicago, even though my parents had booked a Slumbercoach duplex sleeper room for me. I sat in empty Denver Zephyr dome cars all night to Chicago. I had my choice of two dome cars on # 10, I preferred the forward dome because you could watch the signals change as the train passed each one, but the rear dome was for first class passengers, so it had that advantage. Everyone was in bed and the crew didn't care where I sat.

SP 6060 and L&N 791
Title:  SP 6060 and L&N 791
Description:  The last Alco PA locomotives which routinely visited New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal were Southern Pacific 6060 and 6066. These units were originally Texas & New Orleans 200B and 205B, then 201 and 211, so they were no strangers to New Orleans. These locos, along with FP7 6462 (former Cotton Belt 306, ex-330), were the regular power on trains 5 and 6 between New Orleans and Houston during their last few years of operation. Nos. 5 and 6 were the last remnants of the ARGONAUT, which had operated all the way to Los Angeles until late 1957.

On this morning in April 1963 SP 6060 was parked next to the sand tower at NOUPT, along with Louisville & Nashville E7A 791. The L&N power had just arrived on train 33-99, the combined PIEDMONT-PAN AMERICAN-GULF WIND, while the 6060 was waiting to depart on Train No. 5 at 10:30 a.m. The 6060 was sold to GE as credit for a U25B four months after this photo was taken, and Nos. 5 and 6 were discontinued the next month. The PAN AMERICAN-GULF WIND survived until the advent of Amtrak on 1 May 1971, and L&N 791 was retired in November 1971. That was the PANAMA LIMITED in the coach yard on the right.

MP 8003 - "Screaming Eagle", Missouri Pacific
Title:  MP 8003 - "Screaming Eagle", Missouri Pacific
Description:  Unfortunately the b&w photo of the Raymond Loewy inspired blue with silver trim doesn't show the beautiful color scheme in this circa 1955 photo at the Kingsville, MO, depot. The unit would be renumbered later to #46. Note the crew member refilling the unit. This loco is new to this site. The date is an approxmation and with Rick Morgan's comment below, was able to identify the location as Kingsville, TX. The station built in 1904 is now the town's train depot meuseum and very well preserved.
