Scott,
I forgot about the #400-411 SD-7s not having steam generators. I did
see #29 & 30 (Denver-Billings) running with SD-9's on rare occasions and
SD-9's were frequently used on Alliance-Casper passenger runs. I would have
to assume that the GP-7's originally assigned to the Casper Division also
played fill-in for the 'E's once in a while- but the GP's were re-assigned
to the 'flatlands' when the SD-7's arrived. With 4 axles and no Dynamic
Brakes the GP's weren't well suited for the Casper and Sheridan Divisions of
'Lines West'.
