1972 BN Annual page 13. Caption reads: 

"Paper mache steer horns adorn Q SD45 530 as the inaugural run of the Beef 
Express prepares to leave Denver on December 12, 1969." Photo is by F.H. 
Wagner, Jr. 

Further info from Page 12: 

"Inaugurated on December 12, 1969 by predecessor CB&Q, the Beef Express was a 
weekly train, running eastbound only, and designed to speed Colorado and 
Nebraska beef to Chicago and East Coast markets. Leaving Denver every Friday 
evening, the Beef Express made Chicago by mid-afternoon Saturday and its 
connections reached New York Sunday night. Refrigerated trailers of dressed 
beef were the sole commodity carried. But the beef business was not as great as 
anticipated, so the train turned to carrying U.S. Mail loaded in a container 
and piggyback trailers. Quite unlike the beef situation, though, there was 
entirely too much mail, especially for a single, once-a-week train. As a 
result, late in 1972 the Beef Express stopped running; it was replaced by a 
brand new daily through freight, No. 100 (and its westbound counterpart No. 
71)."
