RE: [CBQ] Silver Charger

[GLEN HAUG <glenehaug@msn.com>]

I believe Silver Charger was the last regularly assigned engine for trains 1 
and 44.  I used to see #44 north of Hannibal frequently in its last year, and 
the 9908 always seemed to be on the head end, pulling an RPO and a coach, 
usually both heavyweights.  These trains ran St. Louis to West Quincy, and came 
off in the spring of 1963.  I don't believe this was the end of the line for 
Silver Charger, however.  I'm not sure where it was assigned after the spring 
of 1963.  Possibly Galesburg to Dayman.

In answer to Bill Hoss's comment: Yes, that's precisely the train that I'll be 
using 9908 to pull -- St.Louis to Burlington, later cut back to either Hannibal 
or West Quincy (can't remember right now). Trains were numbers 1 and 44 by 
early sixties. I'll be pulling either a Walthers 5 window or modified Rivarossi 
3 window RPO and (for now) a Branchline coach.

Didn't the Silver Charger finish it's career pulling a heavyweight (mail 
train) out of St. Louis? Aren't cars available for that?
