By 1957 Parlor Passengers had dropped off Silver View and Silver Vista (the
Dome Observations) could handle the parlor traffic . In Mike Spoor's
equipment book there's a shot at Chicago that shows Silver Vista with what
appears to be one of the parlor cars coupled in front. In front of the parlor
car there is a Mo Pac Pullman.
But after Silver Chair and Silver Parlor were removed from regular TCZ
Consists...... Where did they go? In 1968 Parlor and Chair were rebuilt to
Dinette-Chair cars. But where they were used between the TCZ service and
1968.....
