Bryan:
I have found photos for a few of your "missing" paint schemes at BN merger
and include them as attachments to your off-line email. See below for the
units I have information about.
Does anyone know if buried in some archives are company records with
locomotive repaint dates? I am also curious where locomotives were
repainted in the late 1960s and when the wide white side sill version
started.

Subject: [CBQ] GP 7/9 and SD 7/9 Paint Schemes
List,
I've been working on a CB&Q to BN Roster which includes the paint schemes
that the units wore at the time of the merger. Using previous research from
the Zephyr and other members, I've come up with a list of GP and SD 7/9s
that still remain a mystery in regards to their merger paint scheme. I've
looked through most of my collection of CB&Q books to no avail. I do not
currently have Spoor's Volumes 1, 3 and 4, so have not had a chance to look
through those. I've also looked through RRpicturearchives.net without any
luck. A few of the units on the list were assumed previously to be in the
Red and Grey scheme, but I refrained from putting them down as such until
photographic or other proof was obtained. It is my intent to add this CB&Q
to BN roster to the BRHS Roster page when completed. I have not started the
switcher paint schemes yet, but I will try to tackle that next. If anyone
can share any information about these units, it would be most
appreciated.
