CBQ purchased three baggage cars for the TCZ from Budd that were essentially
add-on clones to the ones originally purchased for the DZ. The names were ARGO,
OLYMPUS and SILVER TREASURE. At least two of the three were equipped with a
boiler and water strorage, and seemed to be intended to allow the otherwise
orphaned boiler-less EA shovel nose locomotives to continue to be used with the
new TCZ after the articulated units departed to Omaha. Or…at least allowed the
EAs continued use elsewhere, e.g.. Silver Streak Z.
The records I have are unclear as to which two received the boiler, only
agreeing on ARGO. Now, I have come across a gorgeous factory Shoreham Shops
model of the D&RGW SILVER ANTELOPE that shows that has all the considerable
distinctive obvious detail of the boiler-equipped car (minus any roof
exhaust). When the dispersal of the CZ cars took place, was there an exchange
of the original SILVER ANTELOPE for one of the CBQ’s boiler equipped cars (with
subsequent change of name), presuming that the DRGW wished to be free to use
any available non-boiler equipped locomotive for their new independent
Denver-SLC zephyr operation.
Does anyone have any wisdom in this regard, or was the the execution of the
mode by Shoreham Shopesl simply a mistake?
