>From the suburban job postings used at each "time change" in the BRT/UTU  
Aurora lodge files mixed consists of the old green coaches and bilevels were  
routine until all the old green coaches were retired.
The green coaches were referred to as "flat tops"  or green and the  
bilevels as DD in these postings and typical consists were,from the west  
end,power car,'X' # of DDs and "y" # of flat tops. And in the 50s any  
mail,express 
or baggage cars.These sheets were prepared by the trainmasters  clerk at 
Aurora for train crew bidding purposes. Look at the Hill yard photo  from 1964 
on pg44 in Mike Spoors Vol 1 for confirmation.
It would be my experienced opinion that the power car was kept on the west  
end so passengers wouldn't have to walk past its fumes and noise in CUS. 
Also  that the power car and DDs were on the west end for easier switching at 
both  Aurora and 14th st.
Rich, please excuse one minor correction to your otherwise well  stated 
comments. The train crews didn't flip seats. There were carmen helpers at  
Aurora and CUS for that duty and a quick lite cleaning well into the late  
70s/early 80s. Those jobs are now gone and I do see train crews flipping seats  
at Aurora and CUS along with picking up newspapers,etc.
