[CBQ] Motor car herald

["Rupert & Maureen" <gamlenz@ihug.co.nz>]

Looking at Don Ross' "Don's Depot" 
(http://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/indexcbq.htm)   I was surprised to see a 
photo taken at Peoria in March 1967 of motor car 9768 in switching service with 
end foot boards.  Whilst a number of motor cars ended their days on switching 
duty, this is the first photo I can recall of one sporting a Burlington Route 
herald on the side of the cab below the window.  Whilst heralds were the norm 
on steam motive power, I can't recollect or find another photo of a motor car 
so adorned.

Although it is a black & white photo, it appears that the unit no longer has 
the red and yellow cab but is painted just black, although the border of the 
herald looks to be lighter than the surrounding paint. 

Any others known?
