I have my grandfathers time slips showing GN shared power from Sioux City to Lincoln/Pacific Juntion in the late 60’s.  Also have a photo or 2.

Some of the GN Color Pictorials have pictures of GN units on CB&Q tracks, and vice versa.

Best regards,

I’m interested in the shared power pool

Would this mean GN units would have run through to Chicago and Q units to Harve?

I have come across photos in the BRHS collection of GN run through F units on freight.

It is pure speculation without viewing  the video but I would guess that it probably shows Q E-units with an ex-GN B-unit on the Western Star. That was a resurrection of the passenger pool that ran in the early 1960s .   The power sets ran from Chicago through to Havre, Montana, the traditional point for motive power changes on the GN transcontinental trains.   Other than a possible dead-in -transit move or the aforementioned Omaha-Chicago meat/express train, it is a safe bet that Q E-units and freight power did not operate together in the same consist.
