Here are a couple of Blackhawk consists. These are good examples as there are many more with similar consists. Big, eclectic trains to say the least. There are also many second 47/48s shown in my source.

I'm pretty sure the last 3 cars are DHing but are not shown as such. Usually the crew showed DHs as such.
Interestingly #47 that night left with the 4541,SAL 54 Pullman, Q 176, the 2 GN sleepers,GN 474 from above in its 24 car consist that included PRR,REX,SAL,TP,WAB,SAL,GN,NP equipment and the business car Edna !

Leo,
Blackhawk consists from that era (1960-62) would be a welcomed addition for those modeling the C&I lines. If you don't post the info for the entire group please include me on the list of those interested in receiving it.
Thanks, Dave Sarther Tucson, AZ
