J,
Go to the BRHS web site and see if the "special edition" Burlington
Bulletin is still available.
It is a reprint of Bulletins 1 through 3, with #1 about "Dinkys in
Transition". That issue has lots of great info on the transition
from original commuter service to the Bi-level cars and motive power
that pulled them (they even used a 4-6-4 Hudson at times!).
Hope this helps!
