There are a dozen or more old 'horse blanket' Burlington Emp timetables dating

off-white)
1911 Mc Cook Div of Nebraska District @128
1922 Ottumwa Div of Iowa District #22
1926 " " #31
1931 " " #43

I think the lesson(s) Charlie was referring to re the Naperville RE collision
was the danger of "sandwiching" lightweight cars ie SILVER INN between
heavyweights. There were no crossings involved or SUV's Pete-----Original

Burlington had purchased F/FP45's?I like the red-n-grey scheme, myself ?a very
hard to find model, by the way. Unfortunately, I?m just a modeler, not a real
railroader ?so I was never there and only have old photos and the word of those
who were to go by. Athearn, also painted their "freight" F units silver (even
though they never were?think graybacks and harbor mist)(this issue has been
addressed in this forum fairly recently) with a big red stripe down the side
completely in error, un-like the way cars which actually were silver with said
big red stripe and the decal companies went alone with it. I?ve got some of the
most beautiful motive power you?ve ever seen to prove it. Trains that never
was?from before I knew better. About the recent flooding. Great flood
reporting from the effected areas. They?re pretty interesting to read. YAHOO!,
has published a number of photos showing the power of the mighty Mississippi
(Samuel Clemens said it would never be tamed by man and he was right) Does this
group allow attachments? I wouldn?t mind getting? some, here if they were CBQ
related. The odd cornfield meet. As far as the Naperville disaster, wasn?t
that caused by excessive speed and ignoring signals, not SUV?S? (I know they
didn?t have ?em then) Anyway, you wouldn?t believe some of the wrecks we get
here. (Texas has the most graded crossings in the nation) There?s nothin? like
a garbage truck stuck on a graded crossing to ruin your day?at 50 miles an
hour. --- On Fri, 6/20/08, Charlie Vlk <cvlk@comcast.net> wrote: From:

PM Well, we already know what Chinese Red F Units might have looked like.....
Athearn painted their F7 in a Red and Gray scheme. It wasn't attractive. I
think Passenger Silver, "Blackbird", and Chinese Red FP45/F45s have been done
before. I'm not sure that the Q would have gone to them.... if there had been a
need, say to replace the E5s or E7s, it would have been part of a larger trend
and maybe there would have been an E10 in the EMD Catalog. The Q was a big fan
of having two prime movers on board a unit for reliability. ....something the
FP45 and F40 couldn't do. I think it would have been more likely that the Q
would have done a Morrision Knudson thing and had the units rebuilt with more
up to date power assemblies. Look what the BN did to make their executive F
units.... maybe something along those lines. A few years later and you would
have seen microprocessor control, better wiring, and comfort cab features. I
don't think the Q would have made the mistakes that AMTRAK did with their units
and would never have allowed some of the stuff METRA and the BNSF are enamoured
with on their railroad. The BNSF commuter business people LOVE the Canadian
design cars that shredded when they hit the SUV parked on the tracks.... guess
the lessons of the Naperville Wreck didn't make it through the BN to the BNSF.
