- Sure is.... it's really hard to operate a "B" unit on the head end of a passenger train using the hustler controls! All kidding aside, I think the main reason why the Burlington never bought E7-9 boo

- Pure conjecture on my part..... They probably found that an AA set was superior to a AB set in that they did not require turning. Also the "hostlers" controls had to be a pain to use as compared to a

- In regards to B-units, according the the Burlington Bulletin #10, page 5, author Jim Sandrin states of the E5-B's: "Very quickly, the Q learned just how inflexible an E B-unit could be in passenger s

- Charlie -- What "operational experience" with the E5 B units do you mean? Are you saying the Q had trouble with them? In the Bulletin about the E units, this whole issue is discussed. Most of the pas

- Charlie, As long as you are on the subject take a look at page 94 of "CB&Q In Color, Volume 3". Did the right side of the 169A also have a mix of carbody filter types? Why was this done to this parti
