The "Chicago, Burlington and Quincy" Railroad was known by fans, as the "Q". Two of her steam locomotives were kept operational long after diesels. Number 5632, a "Northern-type" 4-8-4, travelled to Denver for the 1963 NRHS Convention, where it hauled an excursion to Colorado Springs on the "Joint Line" and return. Witness as it delights the conventioners along the Front Range on the Rio Grande, then back to Denver on the Santa Fe iron. Then we spend a few hours at the Burlingtons hub- Galesburg, Illinois. A 2-10-2 switches in the yards, and at the depot, a string of gleaming "Zephyrs" remind us of the glory days of passenger railroading. The zenith of the "Q's passenger operations came in the late 1940's, with the dome' car concept and the "California Zephyr", a great train from Chicago to San Francisco Bay, via the Denver and Rio Grande Western and the Western Pacific railroads. We ride in comfort on the Zephyr through the great plains and over the spine of the Rockies. We also ride on a Western Pacific Fast Freight and visit the Manchester and Onieda in Iowa, operating an ex-Q 4-4-0.
