[CBQ] Re: Question about the U28B's

[William Barber <clipperw@gmail.com>]

Brian,

While I don't have an assignment sheet for the Q in that time period,  
I believe that all of the GE's were assigned to Lincoln Shop for  
maintenance. Early on, Lincoln specialized in GE training and  
maintenance. This continued on into the BN era. As the GE fleet grew,  
other shops were also assigned GE units and, of course, if needed all  
shops could work on them.
