[CBQ] turning passenger cars

["Duncan Cameron" <d.cameron@sympatico.ca>]

Hi everyone.  Operational question.  In the last few years of the Zephyr 
Rocket, there was a diner-lounge on the rear of the train between St. Louis and 
Burlington (later cut back to West Quincy).  I'm guessing (although I don't 
really know the interior layout of these cars) that it would need to be turned 
at either end so that the dining area was connected to the rest of the train 
and the kitchen was at the rear.  Is this the case?  And would they use a 
turntable for turning cars like this (or was there a wye handy at both ends)?  
Any comments gratefully received.
