Chris,
All this type information was in the Operating Data Sheets from
1968-69 that the BRHS reprinted as a bound volume in 1998. It has
been out of print for several years. The web page that describes the
project is here:
<http://www.burlingtonroute.com/costore/opdataproj.htm>. I've
seen copies show up on eBay time to time. Perhaps someone on the
list has one they would be willing to part with for you.
I have a July 1966 version for the C&S and FW&D and I would
love to see an earlier version of the Q datasheets before the train
numbers were changed for the coming BN merger.

One of the most interesting
resources on the NPRHA.org website are the 1969 Train Briefs that
were submitted by Steve Volek.
http://www.nprha.org/NP%20Train%20Briefs/Forms/AllItems.aspx
These documents are a great resource for discovering the purpose
of each of the regular service freight trains. For instance, the
Train Brief for Number 606 - Auburn to Laurel
http://www.nprha.org/NP%20Train%20Briefs/Train%20Brief%20606.htm
- shows schedules, blocking and priorities. At the end under
Laurel, it says:
Delivers to CBQ 188, CBQ 78,
604, 602, locals and industries.
My questions is are similar Train Brief documents available for
CB&Q trains?
