I can verify at least 5 E-5 B's & maybe 7 B units.
Silver Speed: owned by both the CB&Q (9910B) & C&S (9951B)
Silver Mate: owned by the CB&Q (9911B), FW&D (9982B), & the C&S (9952B) in
that order. I wish she had survived with her sister, the Silver Pilot.
Silver Comet: CB&Q 9912B
Silver Swift: CB&Q 9914B
Silver Warrior: FW&D 9980B bought along with the Silver Chief specificly for
the Texas Zephyr.
I'm not sure about the the Silver Wings 9913 (Single unit order) & unit
9915B (6/41 delivery)

corrugated side panels. Modelers of other roads may be disappointed at no
E-7B, but Burlington fans don't need 'em.

Christmas passengers and snow in Nebraska, but it really reminds me of the
CB&Q to remember three or four A units at the head end,
nose-to-tail-to-tail-to-tail like a parade of elephants at the circus. Much
more character than mere B units <grin>!
