Re: [CBQ] Photos, paint schemes

Bill,

All of the Q GP7/9s were delivered in the black scheme with "Way of the 
Zephyrs" and Everywhere West" on the flanks.  The red scheme was introduced in 
the late 50s with the 1959 order of SD24s being the first units delivered in 
the red scheme (EMD anyways).  The majority of the GP7/9s were repainted into 
the red scheme, but a few did survive into the BN era with the original paint 
scheme.

Hi Rupert,

The Castle Graphic site was very good. There were a lot of photos I hadn't
yet seen. But I could locate only one shot of #605 and that was a 3/4 shot
of the left front, but none of the cab face. So, if your book has one, I'd
love to see it when you get the chance. In the mean time I am looking for
any books that I can find on the CB&Q system. Some are quite pricey.

Also, I was reviewing all of my GP 7 and 9 photos. Were any GP 9s delivered
in the "Way of the Zepher" paint scheme? It occurred to me that I have no
pictures of these.

Thanks again,

Bill
