More EMD's

I recall it was SP crews who used the nickname "Cadillac" for an SD9 because the units road smoothly. 

My roster includes 8 CB&Q SD units. (2 black SD7's, 1 red SD7, 1 black SD9, 2 red SD9's and 2 red SD24's. )

Below are 3 SD9's and 1 SD7.

 

Please show one or more first generation EMD locomotives.

NYC 4-6-4 #5335, and Pere Marquette 2-8-4 #1235 at the head of a mixed freight.

Any more double headed steam out there?
