I wouldn't part with mine, but would happily look something up.

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?
