Re: [CBQ] Silk and Berry Special Trains

Oops, I should correct myself, the berry specials were reefers so they would have the crews waycar.

What's most interesting to me, is the long told stories of the train orders that were usually given to the C&E on a berry special. Something to the effect "make best possible

Time". In other words blink a little at the special instructions speed restrictions.

Rupert,

It could be any piece of passenger equipment with seats for the train crew. Based on other files I'm reading it is stated with much emphasis by mgmt. that only in emergency would a waycar be  attached to any express,mail,berry,silk or passenger train.

When you refer to "rider cars", were you meaning the waycars, or baggage
cars with the rider compartment or others?

As a note, the entire train crew would normally be in the "rider" car on
mail and express trains.
