That was interesting that the Silver Repose was being used as a dormitory car
on 2nd #1. It means that three of the 4 DZ slumbercoaches were being used on
#1, leaving 1 for #10? What is interesting further is that Feb 18 is off
season meaning that the DZ normally would only carry 1 slumbercoach. Where
did the extra traffic come from to require 2 sections on this day? Since the
first section is a complete DZ with extra cars, it suggests the second section
was a special move, perhaps for Boy Scouts or a convention in Denver or
somewhere along the route. Also interesting is that SC19 is located behind
the Chuckwagon on this consist whereas it normally was located in front of it
until later in the summer of that year, when it was relocated to behind the
diner. Is SC19 part of the Colorado Springs section on this run? Does this
suggest that the group the second section was carrying was destined to Colorado
Springs and that SC19 was
carrying some members of that group? Obviously, the group was not one who
could generally afford to travel by Pullman Sleeping car as there are no extra
sleepers on that train.
Interesting.
