Re: [CBQ] Date of first CB&Q SD45 in pre-merger green

They came right from EMD painted BN w/hockey stick in January 1969.  Also GE 
U23c in April '69 and EMD GP-40 #629 in February '68.   The GP-40 was reported 
as repainted BN w/hockey stick at West Burlington Shops in August '68.

The SD45s were delivered in the green in January of 1969. The U23Cs were 
delivered in April of 1969 in the green scheme as well.  GP40 #629 was 
repainted into the green, but I don't have the date handy.  It was delivered in 
February of 1968 and I want to say it was the first unit in the green.

When did the first CB&Q engines and rolling stock appear painted in pre-merger 
green?
I am considering obtaining some of these engines and cars for my future layout 
which is set in the 1966-1968 timeframe.
