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).

The 'old Q men' includes my mom. She worked for Burlington Truck Lines in Galesburg, then the railroad before and after the BN merger. I know better but I still find it amusing to sit at a grade crossing with her in the vehicle and she'll remark about the 'motors' going by.
