David,
Two trains can not operate on the same schedule. The logic behind
which number to use is not too difficult.
#19 ran to Denver. If the schedule retained out of Chicago had been
#11 there still would have had to be a #19 from Lincoln to Denver.
Using the "thru" schedule for the entire distance is simpler and less
confusing.
