Pete - Check out the Classic Trains special edition "DIESEL VICTORY" from
Kalmbach. Eric Hirsimaki has an article on the trips the FT 103 made on the
CB&Q. The photo on p. 102-103 gives a glimpse of the dynamometer car and
office car. Bill Glick and others can probably give you more details on the
cars. QuincyPAW

Subject: [CBQ] seeking info on FT 103 tour cars
Hi,
I'm pretty new here. I have had some interest in the Q since I hired on the
BNSF about 10
years ago. I'm working out of Aurora now, and that leads to my question:
I am trying to locate any infomation that may be available on the 1939 tour
of FT 103 as it
began its journey on the Q. Specifically, I am looking for info and pictures
of the
dynamometer car and office car that ran with it. If possible, it would also
be ineteresting to
know the train consist of that first train. Surely that must have been
documented, I just
wonder if that information is archived anywhere?
Thanks for any help or direction anyone can provide.
Pete D.
