As I recall from talks with a coach cleaner on the Q since 1943,  They did a 
trash pick-up while being turned on wye and final cleaning at the coach yard.  
Remember the turn time was as short at 45 minutes inbound AM Zephyr to outbound 
PM Zephye.

One of the docents at the Jackson Street Roundhouse in St Paul MN is working on 
a Zephyr Anniversary Display. He asks:

Will you ask your Burlington Yahoo group about the turn time for the 
Zephyr in Minneapolis. I am particularly interested in steam vs. the 
original Zephyr train set in the 40's era. In the Burlington 
Historical magazine, Ralph Budd mentions that one train set replaces 
two steam engines and six cars on the run to KC, I am sure this has to 
do with the turn time of the Steam locomotives but it would be nice to 
have more information. I am using this in the Zephyr Anniversary 
exhibit at the MTM's Jackson Street Roundhouse. It looks to me from 
the photo record taken by the Star and Tribune that the train set was 
turned on the wye after being unloaded then backed into the Burlington 
coach yards west of the Minneapolis depot for cleaning and fueling 
before being pulled back into the depot for the return trip.

Thanks in advance
