Re: [CBQ] CZ foreign sleepers

[rgortowski@aol.com]

The light gray/dark gray NYC sleepers certainly appeared on the CZ, even as 
early as 1950.  See the cover of Jeff Wilson's "Burlington in the Heartland" 
and you can see what Bob Milner confirms was an NYC car in the 11th slot.  I 
bought one of the Railway Classics "River" sleepers just for this possibility.  
You can also see ACL fluted sleepers in 1951 as well in "Portrait of a Silver 
Lady"  Many foreign road cars were used, even before the 1952 extra cars, to 
augment the consist.
