Hello, Denny - I have a broadside photo of FW&D 9980B 'Silver Warrior' at
Amarillo, Texas, in early 1963 - the roofline is straight from end to end.
Your memory is OK - Rock Island E3s had that tuck down at the rear - E6s had
the straight roof line. Philip A. Weibler

Subject: [CBQ] Re: Q E5-B Unit
I watched these E5's speeding through Riverside, IL all during my
childhood primarily, but not always on the Exposition Flyer. A
recollection that I have not been able to substantiate is that one or
more of the B units seemed to have had a tapered end to the roof so
that it would match the roof contour of the cars of either the
earlier articulated Budd Zephyrs, or the regular Budd cars that were
being delivered at the same time.
Can anyone comment on this?
Denny
