[CBQ] C & S SD40 Stamping Grounds

[Norm Metcalf <n.metcalf@att.net>]

From:   HOL WAGNER
The simple fact is the SD40s and U30Cs were acquired for use on the C&S 
and FW&D, and they were only on the roster 2 to 2-1/2 years before the 
merger. It was 1969 before they began to occasionally wander onto the Q, 
going as far east as Lincoln, either straight from Denver or down from 
Laurel. In return, Q second generation B-B units began to appear on the 
C&S-FW&D. After the merger the C&S units could be found on just about 
any BN mainline. .

     Hello gents,

     As a relative newcomer to matters CB&Q I hope my question isn't too
     basic, but here goes.

     Did the C&S SD40s ever wander onto the CB&Q proper - for example, to
     Council Bluffs, IA or onto the Denver - Chicago route ?

     I'm thinking of the period before the BN takeover.

     Any information or source references would be much appreciated.
     Off-list replies would be great, if anyone can help.

     Pete Molloy.
