The number one source you should have is Ed Fulcomer's Colorado & Southern, 
Southern Division published by Four Ways West.  Also good would be the C&S 
bible, Hol Wagner's The Colorado Road.  I believe the former is still in print, 
and the latter often shows up on eBay.

Subject: [CBQ] C&S Operations on the "Joint Line" in the late 1960's


 

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the list and I'm doing some research on the Joint Line for the 
1960's for a future model railroad. I'm trying to get an idea of what the C&S 
operations were like during the 1965-1968 perio that I'm thinking about 
modeling.

I've got the basics for the passenger trains, but am curious about freights -
most specifically the C&S.

A couple other things I'm trying to figure out relating to the C&S...

1) What kind of train schedule did the C&S have for the joint line? Approx. how 
many trains did they run each day? (Also - did they have symbols or were they 
run as extras?)

2) How common was CB&Q power on the C&S? Was it very common, or did the C&S use 
mostly their own locomotives?

3) What would be a good source of info on rolling stock and cabooses owned by 
the C&S?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Cheers,
Brian
