Russ,

Thanks for that. Also, I guess the CB&Q would not pre-block cars for another 
road - that's their job! So for CB&Q trains terminating in a home yard, could 
stock cars be put anywhere in the train? I.e. they would specifically go on the 
head end only if they were required to be set out en-route, or maybe had a 
tight connection at the terminating yard?

In a similar vein, were there any rules about the make-up of CB&Q trains? I'm 
thinking about hazardous chemicals being kept away from eng. and w/cars and the 
like. I understand that today, "compliant trains" have to be built w/r/t car 
placement. Presumably this happened on the Q but under a different name?

Cheers,

Mark
