Pete:

That was a sort of sidebar ("Serendipity on the Burlington Route") in a J. David Ingles article about riding a local N&W freight on a former Wabash branch.  It was in the Spring 2011 issue of Classic Trains, and the Q motorcar assigned as the Macomb, IL switcher at the time (January 22, 1967) was the 9735.

There is a photo (someplace" of 9769 taken at Clinton, IA...sometime later..Don't recall the year..I would assume that it was being used there as a switcher.


Also a little 'feature" in TRAINS about one of the motorcars used as a road switcher at Macomb..I think that that may have been the last usage of a MC as a switcher.

9097 was the Beatrice switcher in January 1955 (Wymore Story page 46, and Don’s Depot web site) and 9098 was switching at Monmouth in July 1941 (Burlington In Transition page 137)

Thanks Rupert, Hol and everyone for the great responses.  The motor car roster is very detailed and I am going to study it even more than I have already.
 
Hol, thanks for the clarification on the build/rebuild date info. 
 
I had never heard about them being used as switchers, and find that very interesting!  Any info on where?  I guess it would be no more difficult than switching with an F unit vision wise!
 
I am modeling in G Scale, period 1935 to 1965 loosely based on the Q and all BN predecessors, so I guess I can get away with at least one motor car on my layout.
