[CBQ] Q Fans - So you want to run a new Athearn UP U50???

["thommack" <thommack@yahoo.com>]

Yes, Q fans, you can run that new Athearn UP U50 on your layout, whether you 
model the Q from Chicago to Omaha, Chicago to Denver, or the good ol' C&I to 
Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Here are at least three confirmed sightings of U50's on the Q, and the 
associated dates. Since it is highly unlikely that every occurrence of a UP U50 
on the Q would be documented on film, feel free to make up your own excuse...

UP U50 - Number unknown, Cicero, IL (could not find photo but I know it is out 
there)

UP U50 32 Denver, CO April 1970 - Lashup was Q GP40 639, UP U50 32, UP U28C, Q 
U28B, Q GP40 - Source: BN 1973 Motive Power Annual

And here is my favorite: 

UP U50 48 Sugar Grove, IL 9/26/69 on Train 97 - Lashup was EL SDP45; EL SDP45; 
UP U50 48 - Source: Trail of the Zephyrs p. 90

If anyone else has examples of U50 sightings on the Q, please share!
