CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5625
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5625
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-A 5625 at Eola, Illinois on December 14, 1952, photographer unknown, print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5625 was assembled by the CB&Q at West Burlington, Iowa, completed in October 1938, sold for scrap in March 1954. In 1942 this locomotive was fitted with the Franklin steam distribution system employing poppet valves. Note the lack of eccentric rod. One of the primary objectives of the system was to employ relatively small diameter poppet valves, both for intake and exhaust, in this permutation five valves of both types (in the online patent design search, it was two supply poppets and three exhaust poppets) grouped in a manner to maintain the cylinder port clearance volume at a minimum. In poppet valve locomotive engines, especially of relatively large size, the cylinder port walls, because of their rather extended area, have been subject to warping, as a result of thermal changes. Any such warpage is likely to be reflected in distortion of the valve seats and the detrimental effect of such distortion is more serious with large diameter poppet valves than with small diameter valves. The employment of multiple small diameter valves is therefore of advantage in overcoming difficulties due to valve seat distortion. Although poppet valves operated well enough when they were carefully maintained, they could not stand up under the abundance of power that was packed into the Class O-5 Northerns. After a trial life of a few years, number 5625 was retired in 1954 and eventually scrapped, rather than invest money converting it back to original status.

CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5626
Title:  CB&Q 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5626
Description:  Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-8-4 Class O-5-B 5626, date, location, and photographer unknown ( My guess is June 10, 1959 at Fort Collins, Colorado), print by Tom Klinger, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number 5626 was assembled by the CB&Q at West Burlington, Iowa, completed in April 1940, sold for scrap in November 1960. This locomotive was used on a few fan trips, and on one such trip in June 1959 powered an Illini Railroad Club 'Journey To Yesterday' fan trip. On the return trip to Chicago just a little bit east of Denver, CO, one of its eccentric rods broke at speed disabling the locomotive. Since the Burlington was no longer making heavy repairs to steam power by that date, 5626 was condemned and sold for scrap. I posted an inquiry on the CB&Q Yahoo Group and got this reply from Hol Wagner:

You guessed well; it is indeed at Fort Collins on June 10, 1959, on the 'private' trip Howard Fogg ran from Denver to Fort Collins and return for invited guests. The man in the white cap up on the tender is C&S road foreman of engines R.E. 'Mickey' Hansen, who generally ran the engine on every fantrip over the C&S. He can be seen in the cab of the photo I posted a couple of weeks ago taken on this same trip at Church's Lake and showing the engine's Chinese red cab roof.
