There is a question on the Mopac group regarding the assignments of the Mopac's 
5 bedroom lounge cars.  These were lightweight cars built by ACF in 1948.  It 
is mentioned in the TRRA's "Pullmans to St. Louis" that the cars were assigned 
to the CB&Q, but no details are given.  Spoor's Color Guide pg 34 seems to show 
one of the cars in Twin Zephyr service in a photo dated 1964.  I believe that I 
have seen other photos of the cars in Q service.

Questions from the Mopac group are as follows:
1.  What role did the cars serve while on the CB&Q?  It seems that the Twin 
Zephyrs should have had adequate lounge and parlor capacity at this time.  What 
were they used for?
2.  What dates did the cars serve on the CB&Q?  1964-1966 is the likely time 
period.
3.  Were the cars assigned to any other trains?

Thanks

Mike Cafferata
