A CB&Q Passenger Extra
Author: MartyBernard

In my home town of Westmont, IL on July 30, 1965 I captured eastbound CB&Q E8A 9973 running on the normally westbound track leading two elephant-style sisters and one heck-of-a passenger extra (no head-end cars). 

Enjoy,
Marty Bernard

First sleeper is a New Haven "Point" 14-4.  Looks to be a tour group charter....Bob Johnston has written about something similar in Classic Trains.  Perhaps this is the same train?

Fix the thread title, 9973, not 1973.

Regards,
