Re: [CBQ] CBQ SW9 Question

[Bryan Howell <tubaman21@yahoo.com>]

I can answer the first part of that question.  Yes, the Q only had 2 SW9's.  
That leads to the question of why.  Were they unhappy with them?  Power needs 
were sufficient at that time?  I'll take a look at some more info when I get 
home and see if I can dig up anything else, unless someone beats me to it.  I 
hadn't seen that announcement yet, but I look forward to possibly adding one to 
my growing roster.  Now if I only had a place to run them...

Subject: [CBQ] CBQ SW9 Question

  
I found a Q diesel locomotive roster that listed two SW9s numbered 9269 and
9270 with build dates in 1951. Does anyone know if these were the only Q
SW9s, and where these motors were assigned?

The question comes from the fact that Walthers has announced a run of SW9s
including the Blackbird scheme. I'd much rather they were SW1s, since SW1s
were much more prolific on the Q than SW9s, but I guess we're at the mercy
of the manufactuers and should be thankful for anything in the Blackbird
scheme.
