Weren't the CZs with headend traffic all, or mostly all, "2nd" CZ, which
someone stated actually ran on the DZ schedule? I saw a number of the
consists that had an attempt at assembling a CZ, but with RPOs, etc.. but
never more than one baggage (sometimes a economy baggage subing for one of
the CZ cars) on the real CZ.
