And the car washer west of Union Ave. The trains pulled out of the coach yard
and across the double slip switches at Union Ave thru the washer and then back
to the coach yard. Made for a hot tower job even in the '70s with fewer
passenger trains as all the suburban cars had to wash there as well.
The REA and Freight Houses were also going great guns. In the late '70-early
'80s use to make up Pig trains at House 7 and run them right down the main
westbound. Also use to crossover with trailers and makeup the trains in the
Little Yard(North side by Clyde Depot) with cars from House 9

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.
