Although this is strictly anecdotal, my only recollection of the
regular extra CZ sleepers coming through Sacramento were C&O and SP.
On multiple CZ trips in the '60s, we seemed to always draw a bedroom
suite in a C&O car. Although seeing the CZ often, I never once ever
saw CNW, UP, or PRR cars in the consists.
I do know the statistical difference between hard data and casual
observation ;-)
A question to Ed deRouin: was the Denver-Alliance car that was
dropped at Brush coupled behind the observation car for that short
distance, or was it in the usual location requiring locomotive
uncoupling, etc. (a time waster)?
