Chuck Zeiler	General	I went to http://www.trainpix.com/bn/EMDORIG/SW10/INDEX.HTM to try to figure out the heritage of this locomotive. It looks like it was originally a CB&Q unit, but there is conflicting info. Peeking though the paint appears to be the number 585, and the web site referenced above states that this would be former CB&Q SW10 9321, built in June 1966, (c/n 31707), which became BNSF 3654. According to the same web site, BNSF 3653 was BN 584, ex-CB&Q 9320 (c/n 31706) built June 1966. Either way, the word BURLINGTON appears to be sneaking through the paint, and thats all right with me. Thanks for the photo.	3/20/2009 8:01:20 PM
