[CBQ] Elephant style E's

["John Olson trains28@bresnan.net [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

   I have followed this thread with great interest and a lot of superb 
photos have surfaced. One thing I have noticed in these CBQ@yahoo  
photos, Mike Spoor's Morning Sun books and John Strauss' Four Ways West 
books- is the fact that very few photos show nose MU hoses on the lead 
unit- even when Elephant style running became common. I wonder if 
certain units 'Unofficially' were designated as 'lead' units- or were 
the boys in the 'Zephyr Pit' kept busy unscrewing and screwing on the 
nose MU hoses? I know the removal of the hoses was probably dibe to keep 
them from flapping around at 90 mph and thrashing the front of the 
locomotive.
