Challenger's responses are quite simple:
To protect the mail contract between Chicago and Denver during the second
half of 1936, the Pioneer Zephyr served as the advance Denver Zephyr. In
order to maintain this demanding schedule, car #525 was removed from the
train and added to Zephyr #9902, serving as the Twin Cities Zephyr between
Chicago and St. Paul. Our train will include car #525 so that this period
may be represented.
If you know Challenger, a response to any other comment is not necessary in
