CB&Q 9995 and Three Sisters Elephant Style in 1970         
Four E units elephant style was a rare site even when E units were bountiful. E9A 9995 in CB&Q colors leads the group and BN's combined Afternoon Zephyr, North Coast Limited, and Empire Builder west through West Eola, Illinois (almost to Aurora) on August 31, 1970 with nine dome cars. Trains like this is why they called the CB&Q commuter trains "dinkys."
