Hol - WIth lounges both ends, my guess is a combined CBQ/GN/NP directors
special on the LaCrosse Division during the time span you mention. May be Gerald
can ID the location. Best Regards - Louis

Any of you east end guys care to offer an explanation of this
photo being offered on eBay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/208-40s-Railroad-Action-Burlington-Zephyr-Vtg-35mm-Kodachrome-Slide-Red-/141403823550?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20ec531dbe The
seller says 1940s, based on the Kodak red border slide mount. With that
many domes it's clearly an excursion run of some sort, presumably with the
Twin's dome-parlor-obs on the rear and the 300-series
dining-parlor-obs backwards up front so it could be on the rear on the
return run (which would leave the dome seats facing backward). The
truck skirts are gone from the E5, so it's at least very late 1940s or early
1950s. Kind of hard to remove this many cars from regular Twin service
for an excursion, though. Fall foliage trip maybe? And I'm sure
all of you will be able to tell me the
location. Thanks! Hol
