Re: [CBQ] RE: What is the second car?

Hi all,

I was able to zoom in one photo and noticed the rear train set appears to be 
articulated.  The car behind the baggage or mail car has a step down roof like 
the NZ DZ articulated sets.  This brings up another question, did the Q 
typically run cars behind articulated train sets?  On combined trains like the 
Nebraska/KC Zephyr the articulated set always appear to operate on the rear in 
all of the photos I've seen.
