SCL 5137 - Exact date unkown but probably taken some time in 1978. The reason for the Q Cab was to do away with the caboose, at least that is what I remember reading about BQ23-7. But there is still a caboose here in Ocala for the local crew to use.         
An almost brand new BQ23-7 sitting in the small Ocala Yard. The Amtrak Station is down the tracks in the background.
