Q' listers:
Ed caught me red handed in his message above. Being a 1970's era modeler, I
did identify EL locomotives purchased the BN merger. This is certainly
important to many of you. The following units would have been delivered
after the merger.
EL 3654 - 3668, EMD SDP45, second order, delivered in 1970 (sorry, no month
avail)
EL 3669 - 3681, EMD SD45-2, delivered in 1972
EL 3316 - 3327, GE U36C, delivered 1972
All "standard" SD45, and U33C locomotives were delivered before the merger.
As noted above, the second order of SDP45s were probably delivered after the
merger.
