Re: [CBQ] Re: Omaha to Chicago Passenger Trains

["Rick Morgan" <rmorgan28@charter.net>]

Concerning "Q" passenger trains runing from Omaha to Chicago from circa 1950 
on out- this is from timetables: Times are in military (24 hour) time; it 
would appear as if the Coloradoan is the likely candidate; being the early 
morning train on the line; it was combined with the Nebraska Zepyr (NZ) by 
Nov 1961 and appears to have been cancelled soon afterwards.
