RE: [CBQ] Silver Treasure

[Ray Bedard <tczephyr@hotmail.com>]

As noted in David Randall's "Passenger Car Library Volume 1", page 91, Silver Treasure was part of a 3 car order from Aug 1945 and delivered in Feb 1948. Number 908, Silver Treasure was a "spare car, probably used on the CZ". From the photos of Silver Treasure, and Argo from the same order, they do appear to be the same as the CZ baggage cars. Also, the CZ baggage cars, Silver Bear, Buffalo and Coyote did NOT have CZ on the letter board. What was on the letter board was "BURLINGTON".

Subject: [CBQ] Silver Treasure

I just received a BWL unlettered CZ vistadome observation, which I am lettering Silver Penthouse with Microscale RH-108.   In the instructions for the decal, there is a photo of a baggage car which looks identical to the CZ baggage cars, but it is lettered Burlington and Silver Treasure.   It also indicates that it was not part of the original CZ order and did not have CZ lettering or CB&Q on the car ends.   What was this car purchased for and how was it used?   Did it operate  in the CZ or in some other Zephyr consist?   Was it identical to the CZ Budd cars?
