The Q started using E units out of the general passenger pool for commuter trains in the early 50s. They bought very few B-units and ran A-units on long distance trains elephant-style. E7s, 8s, and 9's were used on the commuters and when the double deck cars arrived, the trains always had seperate power cars usually built into old combines. When the E9's were eventually rebuilt by M&K they lost their steam generators and received HEP. After that the power cars were no longer used. There were other changes to the E's as well, so from a historical perspective, these aren't the most original.
