Bob-- GN aquired its E7s in 1945 and 1947, and most of them continued in service through the BN merger and the inception of Amtrak. Although there were times when some of the units were assigned "-A" or "-B" letter suffixes in their road numbers (to designate units in sets of two), all of the GN units were E7As. The most common paint scheme on the GN E7s was the one duplicated on the Broadway Limited models. Some of the E7s received the simplified green-and-orange paint scheme (without yellow stripes) during or after 1962, but none received Big Sky Blue paint. --John
