[CBQ] Time to turn the Zephyr in Minneapolis.

["Dave H" <mzz64@yahoo.com>]

One of the docents at the Jackson Street Roundhouse in St Paul MN is working on 
a Zephyr Anniversary Display. He asks:

 Will you ask your Burlington Yahoo group about the turn time for the  
Zephyr in Minneapolis.  I am particularly interested in steam vs. the  
original Zephyr train set in the 40's era.  In the Burlington  
Historical magazine, Ralph Budd mentions that one train set replaces  
two steam engines and six cars on the run to KC, I am sure this has to  
do with the turn time of the Steam locomotives but it would be nice to  
have more information.  I am using this in the Zephyr Anniversary  
exhibit at the MTM's Jackson Street Roundhouse.  It looks to me from  
the photo record taken by the Star and Tribune that the train set was  
turned on the wye after being unloaded then backed into the Burlington  
coach yards west of the Minneapolis depot for cleaning and fueling  
before being pulled back into the depot for the return trip.

Thanks in advance 

Dave H
