Here's another site: http://www.gnrhs.org This is the Great Northern Ry. Historical Society site. It has a page specifically devoted to the Empire Builder train, albeit during the 1955-'59 period. Tremendous material. <br /> <br />A book by Four Ways West, "Great Northern Color Pictorial--Volume 2" is mostly devoted to coverage of GN's Big Sky Blue diesels. Several of GN's F3 and F7 passenger units were repainted into Big Sky Blue as were 5 out of 6 of its SDP40 passenger hood units (all but No 323). All eight of the SDP45 passenger hood units, Nos 326-333, were delivered in Big Sky Blue. In 1969 GN was mixing and matching passenger units, so it isn't possible to pin down exactly which model or models might have powered your train. <br /> <br />--John
