I believe by the time you saw the train, the ex-CZ F's had been downgraded to 
freight service only.

         I remember this train as a boy of 10 or 11.  I lived at Campion, about 
4 miles south of Loveland.  Seems like the Northbound came through around 
10:30-11 PM at night. It also seems to me it was an E unit, 4 HW baggage/mail 
cars and a silver HW coach on the end. I lived close to the tracks and have 
seen the cars "lock up the brakes" to avoid running into it at the grade 
crossing.  To a boy of my age that train really flew but I have no idea of the 
real speed.  Once I was walking the tracks south to Berthoud Lake and the 
Southbound kinda surprised me.  I really jumped to get out of the way! Even 
though the engineer was on the horn, it still seemed like I was being overtaken 
quite quickly. I do have a question: was this ever pulled by F- units?. In the 
aforementioned  incident, I thought it was an F-unit. I didnt know much about 
engines at that age but was impressed that the engine was much shorter than was 
normally observed?  I dont think the Fs
 had steam generators except the silver F3s on the CBQ and this was C&S track 
by my home?
