[CBQ] Re: Named wooden and heavyweight passenger cars on the Burlington

["michaelvictorg" <michaelvictorg@yahoo.com>]

Thanks Bob, Bill Glick's roster obviously includes Pullman equipment 
as Burlington Bridge, Burlington Light, Burlington House and 
Burlington Route, were Pullman owned and operated cars, built in 1926 
and assigned to the Chicago/Denver Limited. Pullman renamed 
Burlington Bridge, Trimount, in 1937 and in 1945 sold the car to the 
Pennsylvania RR; the other 3 cars also ended up renamed and in 
service on and later sold to the Pennsy as well. 
There is a Burlington owned solarium observation car about which I am 
very curious. In the Otto Perry collection, which may be viewed on 
line at the Denver Public Library web site, there are two photographs 
of a Burlington solarium lounge car, which carries the name Denver on 
one side and Cheyenne on the other. Did the same car actually carry 
two different names at the same time? What was the number of the car? 
I believe it was operated on the Denver-Cheyenne Zephyr Connection in 
the mid 1930's.
Thank you,
Michael Grenstedt
