A Classic Color Scheme - a photo on Flickriver

            This weeks Saturday night Special is this shot of CB&Q 950 leading four other geeps at Clyde yard on November 14, 1963. I loved the Q even though it was a long way from my Upper Michigan home. My Dad used to take me to Chicago quite often when I was little as he had relatives in the area. I would see the occasional CB&Q unit and later on a couple of western vacations with my parents in the summer of 68 and 69 we seen quite a bit of Q action. I was only 12 years old when the BN was formed so I never shot this fantastic color scheme. Photo credit to RP Olmsted, Chuck Schwesinger collection.
