Interesting photo. The 15 CB&Q SD45's ordered in 1968 wore a GN-inspired
proposed BN green/white/black scheme in anticipation of merger. Note the
absence of logo; the BN symbol was going to be added later. Of course, the
merger was tied up in the courts for a while, and by the time it was
actually consummated in early 1970, the white band had been dropped.

The second shot is of CB&Q 517-552 EB at BT 5:17PM August 14, 1969. It is of
two green and white SD45's.
