This time I will be more careful and not prematurely hit the return key. 


One other source and unfortunately out-of-print is an article by yours truly in 
the Dec 
1988 and Jan 1989 Passenger Train Journal. The article covered the period from 
World War 
II to the then pending retirement of the BN E units. Included were rosters, 
rebuilding, and 
operational data. 

Later this year, a shortened version of this article will be published in First 
& Fastest, the 
quarterly magazine of the Shore Line Historical Society. Originally a street 
car and 
interurban organization, they are shifting their focus to include Chicago area 
suburban 
operations.

Yes, Charlie, I could have opened my files as well. So my 1951 date was close, 
but 
inaccurate. Rich did point to good sources as well.

Regards,

Ed
