Zephyr Rocket/American Royal Zephyr


Regarding the cutting out of Silver Patio or Silver Garden from the American 
Royal Zephyr at West Quincy to be picked up by the Zephyr Rocket I have no 
information to contribute. But, I, too, would like to learn if this was a 
regular move in the early 1960s. The ARZ was an overnight run between Chicago 
and Kansas City, with West Quincy being about halfway between. So, on its face, 
it is difficult to understand why this would have been done. But, the 
explanation would become clear if the answer contained specific times and days 
of the week when the pickup and drop-off by the ZR occurred.

Interesting question. Hope the answer is forthcoming from someone.
