Some of those Alcos found a home on the old St. Joe Division. They worked Murray Yard at KC and also St. Joe yard and branch lines. Also branch lines out of Red Oak...I have a photo of one of them at the Engine House at Villisca in December 1953 and distinct memories of seeing them working the yard at Red Oak...In fact Jim Christen and I saw one derail right in front of the depot at Red Oak at the track on the south side where the combines for the Hamburg branch were kept. Jim and I had been hanging rund for some time and the foreman on the switch crew came over an accused us of "monkeying around with the switch. Believe it or not in all my years of "hanging around and working for both the Q and the RI that was the first, last and only derailment that I saw actually take place.

Speaking of non-EMD/EMC diesels, did the Chicago-based Baldwin VO-1000’s that I see (in photos) used to haul passenger consists in and out of CUS ever stray much from that role? I gather the VO-1000’s (whether in Chicago or elsewhere) were forced on the EMD/EMC-loving Q by wartime restrictions.
