Good eye, she's got a Piliod plate on her but I don't recall any
date. Baker motion was not really seen on a lot of Western roads, the
exception being the NdeM.
I could certainly understand the change to Superheat given the many
miles of mainline that they had. Don't have it in front of me, but
wasn't it over 150 miles up to the SP interchange at Cobre? Bet they
drained a lot of watertanks in the days prior to Superheat.
