[CBQ] Removal of overnight heaters

["Don Smith" <rgs0554@yahoo.com>]

Many Burlington GP-7s and some GP-9s were equipped with an overnight  heater 
unit when 
first placed in service.  This unit was in an external  cabinet with an exhaust 
stack mounted 
on the fireman's side running board behind the cab.  They were present into at 
least the `60s.  
I've seen photos of them on red painted units.  Apparently were all removed 
prior to the 
formation of the Burlington Northern.  My question is "What was the time period 
of their 
removal?"
