Hi John,

I'll weigh in here until someone else with other/more information adds their 2 
cents......

In looking my library of "Q" books, here is some info that I hope answers your 
question.

Firstly, the "Blackhawk" was an overnight train in the 20's & 30's (before the 
Zephyrs) between Chicago and the Twin Cities (St. Paul/Minneapolis Minnesota)so 
was mostly Pullman accommodations.

This train was named after an Indian chief Blackhawk who was a leader of the 
Sauk Indians (Google "Cheif Blackhawk).

In looking in one of Bill Glicks books on Burlington Passenger cars, the info 
about the "Blackhawk" train does not list a car named "Blackhawk.

If I recall, this train did have the name "Blackhawk" on the letter boards 
above the window.

Now in Burlington Bulletin #17 on office cars, the "Blackhawk" was an office 
car built by Pullman in 1903 for then president of the "Q" Perkins. (see page 9 
in the Bulletin).
Also in July of 1944 a different Pullman car, the "Robert Peary" that was sold 
to the "Q" became the second "Blackhawk" (see page 51 in the Bulletin).

I hope this helps.
