Thanks for the info, Bill. I have a photo of one of the GN SDP40's being delivered in a Q train 07-1966. It is in the train with freight cars on each end. The same goes for a GN F45 at Dayton's Bluff that is being delivered. Do you know if any of the GN SDP40's or SD45's delivered when you were there were in the consist with the locomotives?  At least one of the later U33C's in BSB for GN was delivered in consist as there is a video of it on an Emery Goulash film. Stills from the video of the U33C in consist have also been published. But I have not seen any EMD's being delivered in consist.
