[CBQ] Re: Red taillight on Silver Terrace

["domelinerdude" <domelinerdude@yahoo.com>]

John,

Silver Terrace and Silver Tower were re-assigned to one of the Twin Zephyrs 
sometime around 1960(?) and replaced by Silver View and Silver Vista briefly, 
then by a Budd built pre-war Diner-Parlor-Observation car, which were modified 
at some point with a raised tailight that extended above the roof line. Might 
these Q veterans be having recall of the Diner Parlor Obs configuration?
