Re: [CBQ] NYC sleeping car on CZ

Bill,

I had a chance to  go through the emails on the PCL list and between Alex Schneider and John Fiscella here are the details that you need.

It seems that the NYC provided Budd 10-6 Valley Series Sleepers (Pullman Plan 9502 or 9510, same Budd Lot) for use on the CZ. These cars were Fluted Stainless cars, and looked very similar to the CZ cars, but were lacking the skirting on the cars, so they'd standout very easily in a consist of the CZ.

Thanks for the correction, James.  I don't know where I got Silver Shadow from.

Bill,

As far as I'm aware, the PRR 6-5 Sleeper was named "Silver Rapids" not Silver Shadow. As to the NYC's car, and what was used, I can't answer that question off the top of my head, but I know it's come up before on the PCL list. I can check my information and verify that tonight and get back to you.

The Pennsylvania Rail Road owned 6-5 sleeping car Silver Shadow for use on the California Zephyr. I read that the Pennsy and New York Central alternated delivering sleepers from Chicago through to New York, so, my question is, did the New York Central own a sleeper, as the PRR did? I can't imagine the NYC carrying a sleeper labeled "PRR", their arch-rival, on one of their trains.
