Re: [CBQ] NYC and PRR 10-6 Sleepers on the CZ

Yes, Oct. 1957.  But, being pedantic - there was no
arrangement to have NYC & PRR 10-6s run on the CZ on alternating
days.   

The PRR's car, SILVER RAPIDS and a car leased from one of the other roads
in the consortium were used as the contributions to the pool by the
PRR  & NYC respectively.  The other days, it was a typical
consortium owned and operated (though Pullman staffed) car.  
The NYC often used a VALLEY series car, which you can see on many CZs
(trucks and roofs are the main tip-offs).  

The PRR was a full member of the consortium, the NYC was not.  
The NYC connection could be a bit hairy given the change of
terminals.    

And, just because the through car agreements ended in 1957, that did not
mean the end of NYC & PRR cars on the CZ - quite the contrary, they
showed up far more often.
