Got mine a couple weeks ago, and yes it's a beautiful model and a much-needed and appreciated addition to the HO CB&Q roster.
As for the practice of poling, well . . . it may have been banned in the '60s, but such bans were honored in the breach, as I saw it done on a shortline in 1967. My hunch is that Class I railroad crews kept doing it too sometimes, when they thought they could get away with it.
Also during the (earlier part of the) 1960s, I tried it out on our high-school model railroad club, using an appropriately shortened round toothpick. It may have been illegal, but it worked great.
