There is a picture on page 65 of Al Holck's Burlington Route Color Pictorial Vol. 2 of a Q train in July 1968. The fourth unit is a GP30, but what is interesting is that the number board is black let

CB&Q VO-1000 was built 12/43. By 06/61 she had 4 stacks, not sure exactly when the conversion took place, though. At that time she still wore the "Everywhere West" / "Way of the Zephyrs" scheme. She

I just saw the new BN trackside book entitled "The Urge to Merge". It is actually not BN, but all the BN predecessor roads. So there is a big section on the Q. In it is a photo I have not seen before
