The cars changed over time - they sometimes were
a 6-6 and a 10-1-2, sometimes an 8-1-2 - it
varied depending on year & season. The 6-6 was
the 4084-B variety (originally for the Empire
Builder, rebuilt from 14 section cars, one bought
by the Q after divestiture (PIERRE
CHOUTEAU)). There were two Oriental brass models
based on these cars - one specifically labeled
for the 1937 Empire Builder and the other labeled simply 6-6.
Agree, Charlie, worst thing about Strauss's books
- no index. And then, very short shrift given to
non-named trains (often without the specific
consist as provided the named trains) and
sometimes without the generic consist of the
named trains. Should be a third volume for such.
