This an FYI to 3-rail O-gauge CB&Q fans . . .
1. E5 AA diesel set for MSRP $650 . . . The units are
named Silver Carrier (#9915A) and Silver Clipper (#9915B, note that
the prototype Silver Clipper was a B unit).
(end edited quotes)
9915A & 9915B were delivered as back-to-back A units (E5A Ph II). A brief
summary of E5s follows:
Phase I A units: 9909; 9910A; 9911A; 9912A; 9950A; 9980A.
Phase I (and only) B units: 9910B; 9911B; 9912B; 9950B; 9980B
Phase II A units: 9913; 9914A; 9914B; 9915A; 9915B
Depicting Silver Carrier and Silver Clipper as both being A units is therefore
correct.
