CB&Q 302 SILVER HOURS         
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad number 302, named SILVER HOURS, at Aurora, Illinois on February 13, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I marked the slide as Silver Hours Train #11, the Nebraska Zephyr. Note that this photo information has been changed on August 6, 2021, per Bob Campbell's comment below, thanks Bob.

This is a 3-car "dinky" hauling 3 deadheading "thru" cars destined for the Aurora car shops. This is a typical Sunday afternoon movement. Location is MP 37.
