Thanks Scott for the link to CB&Q #168A at Pielet Bros in Sept 1970.

Here are a few of the comments listed below the photo:

This photo is a thousand words too many. I feel your pain!

This is the only shot I have ever seen of a CB&Q F-unit in a scrap yard. It is sad that not one of any CB&Q F-units survived into the BN era. I just wish at least one could have been saved for a museum. It is a good shot Sid, but a very sad ending to those Q F-units.

The Q only ordered 13 F7s (10 As and 3 Bs) and no F9s. All F7s were built in May 1950. 168A was assigned BN #746 (the only Q F unit given a BN number) but was not renumbered. She was traded in to EMD (probably for a BN GP40), gutted, and then scrapped across the street at the young age of 20.

It operated several times between Lincoln and Sioux City that I'm aware of.

CB&Q F7A 168A made it to merger day, but did the BN ever operate it? The 1971 Motive Power Annual seems to say so, there’ s a photo of it coupled to other power a couple months after the merger but I’m not sure if this was for a train or if it was just being shuffled around in storage. The fact that it was traded in to EMD a few months later without being renumbered seems to indicate that it’s operational days on the BN were few if any.

Thank you kindly,
