Around here the Geeps and SD's were still called motors even after the BN merger. As long as the old Q men were around it was still motors, waycars and pots (for dwarf signals).

Well and correctly stated Charlie...during my 3 summer tenure on the Q engines were still referred to as "Motor"...Train orders were also addressed that way in some, but not all cases.  Seems like...subject to correction (if you're old enough to know or remember" that the F units were referred to as motors and GP's and SD's were engine. 
 
I never saw a train order directing "Motor No. 1234" to run extra...but I distinctly remember that train orders address to freight trains with an F unit would read...No. 71, Motor No. 156.  Maybe it was just up to the dispatcher as to how he did it..

The “Motor” designation carried far into the dieselization of the CB&Q.   It was a logical designation the terminology was not limited to gas or distillate powered units nor make any distinction for the power transmission…..direct or generator/electric motors.    
The Q already had a organization built to care for similar technology so the Zephyrs were an extension of what they were already using and at the time few had any notion of what the 9900 was starting.
