Yes. I recall seeing all of these during the late 60's at Clyde Yard
and roaring through hinsdale - probably on time frieghts of some

prototype BN logo rather than the white burlington lettering below
the cab whereas the other units had just the white "burlington"
letting. Is my recollection wrong ?
