Thanks Stephen,
  
I couldn't remember if they were E's or F's.

          The locomotives used in commuter service were the same E8's and E9's 
used on the intercity trains. They were rotated in and out of each service. A 
locomotive would come in on the Denver Zephyr and then go out on a commuter 
train, and vice versa.

That is why every time I look at those 4 ex-BN E9's in Nashville, I realize I 
am looking at the locomotives that would pilot my trips on my favorite train, 
the Denver Zephyr.

Thanks for the suggestion, I do have a number of commuter cars (stainless 
steel) double deck) and am looking for the older (heavyweights?) which were 
still in service when I first began commuting. I can't remember what units were 
used I know at one time they were E-8/9's but don't know the chronology.

Thanks for your help Stephen,

John

If you are going to model CUS during the CZ period, do not forget the abundance 
of gallery commuter cars owned by the Burlington.

Also, look at the latest book on passenger train modeling from 
Kalmbach by Andy Sperandeo - it has some ideas on modeling passenger 
stations that might be of use, though Ed's book is the definitive 
book on Union Station.

Depending on era you'd want a "connection" from the NYC, AT&SF and 
others for mail and sleepers.
