CB&Q 9947B Became BN 9953 and Then Amtrak 346
Title:  CB&Q 9947B Became BN 9953 and Then Amtrak 346
Description:  Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy E8A 9947B leads an inbound rush-hour commuter run on a frosty morning at suburban Westmont, Illinois on January 4, 1965. This was during the transition between conventional cars (the first several cars on this train) and gallery cars (aka, double deckers). One gallery car is second from last on this train followed by a single deck car which has a generator for the gallery car because the gallery car cannot accept steam from the steam generator in the diesel (eventually all CB&Q E-units in commuter service would be converted to head-end power by BN and pull trains of all gallery cars with no generator car). The gallery car has electric heating, is air conditioned, and had no small generator under it's floor for the lights powered by the rotation of the car's wheels. Conventional cars were just the opposite, needed steam from the steam generator in the diesel (originally from a steam engine) for heat (and hot water in intercity cars), had a generator run off the wheels when the train was moving and an under-floor battery for when the train was not moving for lights. Today all passenger diesels locomotives have a second much smaller diesel engine to generate power for the cars and thus have "head-end power".

CB&Q 9973 w/Dinky in 1965
Title:  CB&Q 9973 w/Dinky in 1965
Description:  Today, most or all diesel-powered commuter rail operations do not change the length (number of cars) of trains during off-hours thus accumulating many extra miles on the cars and using many gallons of extra diesel fuel. It seems to be a trade-off between today's labor costs vs. fuel and equipment costs. In this picture of Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy E8A 9973 leading a commuter run on Sunday July 5, 1964, and the "Q" obviously didn't expect many riders and cut the train to one push-pull gallery car. The trade-off was different.
