And it might be further noted that the Q operated both D&RGW and WP F-units out of Denver on their way east as trade-ins, so seeing a unit in operation on the Q while on its way to EMD was not particularly unusual.

In my continuous quest to document photos of foreign power on the Q in the late 60's, I ran across this photo today:

http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1535302

It show SSW (Cotton Belt) F7A 969 trailing CB&Q GP20 927 and CB&Q GP35 982 on a train heading west at Eola, IL. Is there any way of knowing what train this might be? Headed to Galesburg or Savanna?

Any other info on SSW 969 would be appreciated as well - was it on a short-term lease to the CB&Q in 1966?
