Subject: [BRHSlist] Term "Silver Slipper" from B&M usage?
<snip> "Do you know if the term SILVER SLIPPER was ever applied to the CB&Q
Zephyrs? Or was this just a B&M term? We rails always call it the TinFish
to differenciate from the steam powered Flying Yankee. But the press liked
Silver Slipper as well."
SILVER SLIPPER was the name of one of the add-on room sleepers built for the
original Denver Zephyrs in 1939, so it's unlikely to have had any currency as a
nickname on the Q . . .
