Here's one http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:EMD_E5_at_IRM.jpg Here's another link http://www.railpictures.net/showphotos.php?locomotive=EMD20E5(A) For some reason the second link is not working; however, do a Google search for EMD E5 Locomotives and when you see the Railpictures web site, there will be quite a few nice photos of E5s.
try this link... http://www.railpictures.net/showphotos.php well, it's not working, sorry... go to railpictures.net and enter EMD F5 into the Enter Keywords... box and you'll see three pages with the EMD E5 engine

It helped me!
That's part of the intrigue. I remember a posting on the CBQ list at Yahoo, where the author explained how Silver Pilot originally ran with Silver Mate, but Silver Mate was lost in a wreck. Silver Pilot ultimately wound up instead being mated with the "train of the goddesses," which was the one of two Nebraska Zephyr trainsets that wound up in Union with Silver Pilot. That's either really silly or really interesting, depending upon what mood a Q fan is in...... Strange hobby we have.
Do a search on youtube.com There are tons of the one at IRM. I love that place.

A number of them, as well as other EMD locos, are on this page. http://www.northeast.railfan.net/diesel9.html Ben
Aww man, I started lookin thru the Youtube vids and came across the Mark Twain Zephyr, and then researched it a bit. Now I want one, or at least a small representation of it for now, lol. But if I ever hit the lotto, it's gonna be mine, lol. I figure, take it somewhere to get it completely refurbed, cost about 8~12 million, then it would be worth it. Do a lil reconstruction to it, not a lot. Make the doors on the baggage area big enough to get a small car in, so you have something to ride around town in. Completely redo the coach section, and put bedrooms in there. but completely restore the original obs in the rear. Use that section for tours and so forth when sitting somewhere like a train show. Make my home of permanent record= 9903 CB&Q Way, Anywhere, USA.
Thoroughbreed, we can bug Kato or Concor to do the Mark Twain Zephyr! Or bug both and see which one does it. Concor is already doing the articulated trains. Maybe we should bug them. We should start a thread for the MTZ!! Then we can all own one. I think Granite city will take good care of the Mark Twain zephyr and we can all visit her. :tb-embarrassed: Bud
