Re: [CBQ] SD's and GP's in passenger service?

[Kenneth Fleming <kf5632@gmail.com>]

Geeps with steam generators were the first replacements for steam on the
"Dinkeys" out of Chicago.  My memory seems to recall them as being used
there first then to freight service when the E-units took over the duty.
Cow and calf sets were popular for branch line service, replacing the R's
and O's.
