[CBQ] Mark Twain Zephyr...

["JK public@redtower.net [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

I've been reading the TRRA Historical Society's publication on the Zephyr 
Rocket, and came across some interesting information.

It appeared, from a description early in the book, that the Mark Twain Zephyr 
was separated for loading/unloading (baggage, RPO, etc), but I thought this was 
something not easily accomplished with the unit train as built?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what is being described...but was the MTZ pulled 
apart in St. Louis for loading/unloading?  Certainly a unit train would make it 
a bit more difficult to accomplish loading/unloading regardless of
if it was disassembled or not, so I'm interested in hearing what people know 
about the MTZ (and other unit trains) with regard to how they were turned for 
the next trip.

Cheers!
