I may be late to the party, but since I just re-watched the video last night I thought I'd bring this up...

During the D&RGW section of the film they point out a meet of an eastbound and westbound CZ, so we know at least the D&RGW had multiple trainsets.  Seeing as how the CB&Q portion of the route was more than a 12-hour trip, would it not be probable that there were actually 2 (or more) consists?  Since there was only 1 F3 ABA set, there had to be something else pulling the trains.  Even if they changed power somewhere along the route so that the F3 lash-up could stay on the western side, there still had to be other locos pulling the CZ.

According to the 1950 CZ timetable, departure from Chicago was at 3:30pm. The train arrived in Denver at 8:20am the following morning, all being handled by the CB&Q. The eastbound left Denver at 7:15pm and arrived in Chicago at 1:30pm the next day (again, all Burlington).  It would be impossible for the same units arriving in Denver at 8 in the morning to make it back to Chicago for that day's afternoon departure.  With a daily schedule, the CB&Q must have had at least one more consist to handle the "every other day" turnaround in the timetable. 

Am I missing something?
