Wayner Publications, "CAR NAMES NUMBERS & CONSISTS" by Robert J Wayner, states 
on page 225 that "Parlor Cars 340-SILVER PARLOR and 341-SILVER CHAIR were 
outshopped in November 1949 for TWIN ZEPHYR operation" and "converted in(to) 
dinette-chair cars in August and September 1968." This backs up Rich G. 1950 
consist, and appears that the cars were in TZ service till 1968, after which 
they remained in TZ service(?) till Amtrak. Which leads to a couple of 
questions: What does "outshopped" refer to-an existing car rebuilt or a newly 
constructed car? What was the difference between the Morning/Afternoon Zephyrs 
and the Twin Zephyrs? Were there 4 separate consists ?, or were only 2 consists 
used? The original consists of the 1947 Twin Zephyrs does not list #4714-SILVER 
DOME. When were SILVER DOME and #4709-SILVER CASTLE added to the 
Chicago-Minneapolis runs? For Rich G. 1950 consist, SILVER CASTLE was 
available. Your help is needed(?) as I have an exam on this topic Friday(LOL).
