All you say is correct and I DO hope we see something in addition to
the coach/buffet/dome coming down the line. However, the current
model IS correct for two Burlington cars that were built for the
Kansas City Zephyr and American Royal and were often seen in the 60's
on the Twins and Blackhawk. I sometimes felt some of the original
Kansas City Zephyr cars spent more time on the Twin Cities runs than
the original assignment. I still remember several trips from Chicago
to Prairie du Chien on the Blackhawk riding in the dome of Silver
Garden or Patio.
