- According to the _Contemporary Diesel Spotter's Guide_, Morrison-Knudsen
- rebuilt 21 BN E9A's with 645 power assemblies in 1973 and 4 E8A's in 1978 for
- the Chicago-Aurora run. I'm sure BN overhualed the original units many times
- before this, but the 1973 rebuilds were MK's first contract rebuildings ever.
-
- If memory serves, the 1973-rebuilt E9's were numbered 9900-9904 and 9910-9925, and
- the 1978-rebuilt E8's were 9905-9908, leaving 9909 vacant.
-
- Speaking of the BN E's, as of last weekend, the following 16 E's were still
- stored elephant style south of Union Station in Chicago, near where Amtrak
- wyes incoming trains (don't know the technical name of the place):
-
- 9900, 9901, 9903, 9904, 9910, 9912, 9913, 9914, 9915, 9916, 9917,
- 9918, 9921, 9923, 9924, 9925.
