Whoa! Going from a newbie to a helper! :)
1) Late fifties, can get the exact date this eve but someone will probably
beat me to it. Last one (GP9) was repainted BN green in 1976.
2) Dunno. Someone else will have to grab that one.
3) Best thing is to get a copy of Mike Spoor's CB&Q Color Guide to Passenger
& Freight (available from www.morningsunbooks.com). Gives photos, build
dates and other good info. You can also check out George's fallen flags
site http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/
4) Probably from the BRHS website (www.burlingtonroute.com)
