Re: [CBQ] Train Number Question Followup

The numbering was changing in route because of the change in Timetable 
direction on the RI over the various subs...I don't have a TT right here, but 
I'll look it up...

Actually, the Zephyr Rocket carried a different set of numbers altogether when 
on Rock Island track. Initially it was numbered 561 & 562 in and out of the 
twin cities and 62-61 on the Des Moines division (so numbering would have been 
561,62,8 going south and 15,61,562 going north. In 1959 the numbering was 
changed and it became 19 and 190 southbound and 201 and 20 northbound on the 
CRI&P.
