Michael Spoor's 1st Burlington Book shows a picture of the DZ with 9995 forward and three other E units backward. It was taken July of 1958, two months before your picture, and the month my wife was born. I always got a kick out of that photo in that the 9995 ended up as N&E 9925 in Nashville. Linda was a member of the Tennessee Central Railway Museum in Nashville at the time and the unit was occasionally tried on the Museum train. I showed her the picture of the unit so she could see how sleek and beautiful the diesel looked the month she was born,

Hubert, According to BRHS Bulletin no. 10, none of the Q E units were equipped with nose or front MU connections until the mid 1950’s with most applied in the early 1960s. For reference, this information appears on page 34 of that Bulletin. While there may be some earlier photos, the earliest dated photo that I can find, of Q E units operating with the front MU active, is September, 1958. See attached.
