RE: [CBQ] Is this a Burlington locomotive

Although the bottom of the picture says Winnebago, this is a photo of Homer, 
NE.  It's a good possibility that the engine may be a GN.  The GN built the 
northern portion of that line from South Sioux City & the Q built the southern 
portion from Ashland, but I'm not sure when the line was completely finished.  
The photo is definitely Homer and I believe one of the buildings in the 
background still exists.

All,
Have another question that I found. This is a picture of an engine in a depot 
in Homer Nebraska. Postcard says  #3 arriving on 7-15-09. Can't read the number 
on the engine but the pilot makes me wonder if it is a Q engine or possibly a 
GN. A GN engine doesn't match the date since by then the Q owned the line. Any 
help would be appreciated.
Thanks
