The DZ consist expanded and contracted as traffic demanded.
 
Cars from other roads were sometimes present in the consist.  When I rode the 
train east in 1962, two Pennsy duplex sleepers, Manor Brook, and Marsh Brook 
substituted for slumbercoach SC19 and a Missouri Pacific dome car was in the 
Colorado Springs section.  In 1967, we had a Union Pacific baggage car on our 
train.
 
The order of cars was generally as follows:
 
Domed Observation Parlor Lounge
Sleepers including a 6DBR 5 Compartment sleeper, the position of which I do not 
know.
Diner
10-6 sleeper - Chicago-Colo. Sprgs.
Slumbercoach - Chicago-Colo. Sprgs.
Dome Chuckwagon - Chicago-Colo Sprgs (Summer Only) 
Coach - Chicago-Colo. Sprgs. (summer only)
dome coach - Chicago-Colo. Sprgs (off season)
Dome Chuckwagon - Chicago-Denver (off season)
slumbercoach
coaches
dome coach (summer only)
coaches (summer only)
dome coach lounge (summer only)

Was the consist of the Denver Zephyr "fixed" for this time frame 1960 - 
1965 (Like the CZ or the TCZ)?

If so, what was the order of the cars? I understand that at heavy 
travel times, there may have been 2 or 3 sections of the train.

Also, did the DZ carry cars from other roads in these extra sections?

Thanks in advance

Jim Schwarz
