When new, system wide hotshots MUed in kind (see 1960? callendar). Later
years, secondary trains mixed MUing like on North Extras to Daytons Bluff.
Got a picture of a single SD-24 at East Winona, WI 1965 with 124 cars! Post
merger, mixed MUing on branch lines such as to Streator and Rockford. The
dearth of the SD-24 was 16 steps of transition and BN's TLC. Considered junk
by the end of their useful lives but rode like a new Cadillac (I believe the
same C-C trucks the SD-7's and SD-9's had)! Don't ever recall them on
passenger (thru or dinky).
