Power cars with diesel engines were numbered #9900-#9908, while traditional diesel locomotives were numbered beginning with #9909. Power cars and a few E5A locomotives were originally assigned to specific trains, described at the Pre War Streamliners page.
#9960-#9962 were the original locomotives assigned to the California Zephyr, on the Burlington Route segment between Chicago and Denver. The other participating railroads provided their own locomotives over their segments.
#9950AB, #9980AB and #9981AB were owned by subsidiaries Colorado & Southern, and Fort Worth & Denver.
Some locomotives eventually operated exclusively in commuter service in Chicago. Including having head end power auxiliary generators installed, to operate with bilevel commuter cars.
