Hi James,
The BRHS Archives does not have the specific information you request about
the Aurora switcher, so I've forwarded your email to the CBQ list, where we
have over 700 CB&Q fans "listening in" who may be able to answer that
question.
The Denver Zephyr of the 60's had a "fixed" consist that was amplified
during peak seasons. The consist was:
Baggage-RPO
Baggage
(2) 50-seat coach
Vista Dome Coach
Vista Dome Dormitory Buffet Lounge
(2) Slumbercoaches
48-seat Diner
(3) 10-6 Sleeper
6-5 Sleeper
Vista Dome Observation Lounge

Subject: Two Questions
Need some help:
FIRST, Growing up in Aurora during the 60's, I would often pick my dad up
from the Aurora station. (He worked for the "Q".) It seemed to me that there
was always a switcher there to move the suburban cars around.
What type of switcher was it, and was one specially assigned to that duty,
If so, does anyone know the number of the switch engine???
Second, did the Denver Zephyr of the 60's of a fixed consist (like that of
the CZ), and if so, what was the order of the cars???
Thanks for answering these questions.
James E Schwarz
