Re: [CBQ] Ad with Q E7 in GN paint style

But the painted on vents on the side of the headlight are definitely a Q item.

Subject: [CBQ] Ad with Q E7 in GN paint style

 

I was on the Great Northern Yahoo group and spotted some comments about an ad from 1947 that appeared in the Chicago Tribune newspaper.

It showed an E7 in Great Northern paint scheme but with a BURLINGTON logo on the nose of the engine. Glad the Q never painted it's E7's in GN paint.

I found this most interesting, as it is for the "NEW" Empire Builder. I am sure that the Hill group had something to do with this ad.

I posted the ad in "FILES" titled: 1947 chgo tribune.jpg
