I have a few consists of the DZ for May of 64 that include head end.
Interestingly, when I was looking into the CZ consist information, a LOT of
headend traffic was added between Omaha (and Lincoln) and Denver. Why not
the DZ, or other sections of the DZ, I don't know. But often as many as 3
extra cars. From Cicero, on the DZ several times there are labels
indicating magazine loaded baggage cars. If interested, I can post those
....
