Re: [CBQ] General Pershing motorcar and related trivia

[Jpslhedgpeth@aol.com]

Most of you guys...at least the old Q men know that when the first Zephyrs  
ie Pioneer, Mark Twain, General Pershing etc began being operated they were  
officially designated as "Motor Cars"...I have a couple of old train orders  
carrying that designation.  ie  No. 21 Motor Car 9900.
 
Even through my years on the Q...late 1950's Diesel Engines were referred  to 
by casual reference and also officially in Train Orders as "Motors".
