Check the date on the train sheet - it might well be after the end of
Transcon service. In any case, remember that CZ cars had a window
in Chicago where the sleepers and some of the other cars could go out
and back between trains. In fact, there was provision for that in
the updated contract of the consortium - which is why the CB&Q paid
for more cars in the 1952 purchase than it's weighted portion. As
I said, the NYC leased cars from all three major partners, not just
the WP or the D&RGW.
