["David Weber dave@cimmarondesign.com [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

only 5 cab cars arrived in 65. most dinkys still ran with Es headed east. motors were turned at aurora depot and the zeyphr pit.

From Dorin's "Everywhere West, the Burlington Route", page 92:

"Dieselization came in the form of...E-7s, E-8s and E-9s.  These locomotives were serviced in Aurora, and prior to the days of push pull engines and were turned there also.

The push pull trains arrived in 1965..."

The above is in a chapter about commuter service.

I think this would mean that the commuter trains were push pull in 1965 and the E's used on them were not turned.  Thus they would always be heading in the same direction.  West, I believe it's been said.

I believe the elephant setup for long distance trains started happening about then, also.
