Also would have the Rebuilt Pullman Cars.(I sill trying to find out more
about them and if they were pooled out of Denver during those years) In
later years, after the return of the 1940 cars.(The Denver Train sets were
used from 1957 to 1965)There sleeper were pooled.
I have seen Photos of the TZ with other Green Head end cars but most of
that traffic was on train 7-8 the locals from Fort Worth To Denver.
At Fort Worth until 1954 a 4-6-2 would pull the train to Dallas to Allow
servicing of the E-5s
The Sam would have been using CBQ leased E-6 9909 or a Pooled CBQ E-8.
Consists would be a leased Budd Cars from the Q with a Bag, 2 or 3 coaches
