Bill,
The Q's TR2 units were delivered in two batches, the first in Feb-March 1949
and were numbered 9401AB-9409AB, with the second batch in November 1949 and
numbered 9410AB-9413AB. The Q also acquired the EMD TR2 demonstrators and
numbered them 9400AB. All B units were cabless when delivered, otherwise the
units would have been classed as NW2's. The Q sent the B units back to EMD in
1954 where they were rebuilt with cabs and reclassified as NW2's. The units
retained their original numbers, including the 'B' suffix. An easy spotting
difference between the A and B units was the A units featured the curved front
cab windows while the rebuilt B units had the rectangular front cab windows.
Most of the pictures of the TR2's pre and post rebuild dates I have seen have
been in the Twin Cities, working Dayton's Bluff and the local transfers. More
photos of the units can be found at the following link towards the bottom of
the list.

Subject: [CBQ] TR2s
I have searched all over for pictures of the original TR2s numbers 9401 AB
through 9413 AB. Does anyone know of where there might be some pictures of
these units prior to the BN transition? Specifically, I want to know if the
original B units were cabless. I know that the CB&Q sent them back so that they
could be operated by themselves, without the A unit, but I can not find a
picture. I only found one B unit but it had a cab on it. Also, I can not find
the date these units were converted.
Thanks,
Bill
