Hol - Appreciate your further ID'ing the photo.  What would a lone B unit be doing sitting at Trinidad?  Didn't the E5s run straight through in passenger service from Dallas to Denver and return?

Or, since you date the image to the mid-1960s, could've this B unit been working out its last miles in freight service before being traded-in?  Best Regards - Louis

Thanks!  That's the Trinidad depot in the right background and the view undoubtedly dates to the mid-1960s.

Hol and Mike - I've attached a nice image of FW&D 9980B Silver Warrior.  The date and location are unknown.  Glad the plates have survived in your collections.  Too bad this motor wasn't also preserved at the Illinois Railway Museum to mate with the 9911A. Best Regards - Louis

And my E5 plate is the other one from 9980B.  I removed both it and the builder's plate, with permission from the Denver master mechanic, while the unit was stored here awaiting trade-in.

Louis & Hol:

The E5 plate on the left in my photo is from the 9980B. I know this because it's marked on the back, and I acquired it around the same time I got the other builders plate from this locomotive...I guess that plate would be the mate to yours, Hol. The second E5 plate pictured, I can't say with 100% certainty. If I were to guess, I'd say the 9914B, because I acquired it in a small collection of plates that also included a builders plate from the 9914B.

I also have a builders plate from the 9980A which I display as a set with the 9980B.
