Thank you for your response.
I just want to let you know that your 1972 BN Annual gave me hours and hours of
pleasurable reading years ago. unfortunately, when we moved, it got packed
away and is in a box somewhere. I do remember a picture in it of a locomotive
receiving 5 green nose stripes and also a gorgeous picture of the DZ leaving
Denver in the summer of 1970 with the obs again at the rear. It was a classic
shot of the train.
