RE: [CBQ] Office cars

It was pretty much a hard and fast rule that office cars ran behind the headend cars on any train that had an observation car -- blunt-end or round-end.  That changed in 1968, and office cars began to be operated behind observation cars on the rear of trains -- except for the CZ, where they continued on the headend until the train was discontinued (since the CZ round-ends had no rear diaphragms to help stabilize a trailing car.

Subject: [CBQ] Office cars

 

I am aware of Q policy of putting office cars on the head end of the train if there is an observation car on the rear. But what did they do with round end (boat tail) observation cars?

For example I am wondering about the new Silver Streak Z. with the office car "Burlington". Would it go on the rear or the front?
