Re: [CBQ] Re: TZ cars for sale at Hill City

The three cars in South Dakota had been in a scrap yard below the Speer Blvd 
Viaduct in Denver prior to ending up in the Black Hills.  In fact, the whole 
trainset was sitting there and one of the sleepers had been cut down to its 
floor.  I would see the set regularly there throughout the early and mid 70's.  
In fact, when I saw the Silver Streak's nameplate hanging on the wall behind 
the concession stand at the Cherry Creek Cinema during the showing of the movie 
by the same name there, I thought the trainset had been totally scrapped.

      Thanks for the information regarding these cars. Bill Heckman 
(owner/operator of the Black Hills Central) must have had some good connections 
at the CB&Q at the time when these cars were donated (late 1960s I'm guessing?) 
 I know the relationship deteriorated over the years, especially after BN took 
over, because Heckman was often late to pay his bills.   The situation came to 
a head in the mid-1980s when the BN took him to court to get C&S 9 back.
