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

[Bill Hirt <whirt@sbcglobal.net>]

In Al Holck's Burlington Route Color Pictorial Vol. 2, there are several 
pictures of GP7s leading passenger trains like:

#48 Rock Island - St. Louis
#2 Galesburg - Chicago local

He also has a picture of 2 GP9s (and an unknown GP) leading a 25 car 
Shriner Special in Denver.

Mike Spoor's color books also has a number of pictures of Gp7s leading 
passenger trains including the remnants of the Zephyr Rocket and the 
Omaha-Kansas City trains.
