Correct. I understand CB&Q Elephant style E unit operation began with the introduction of the new "American Royal Zephyr" in 1953. The westbound American Royal Zephyr train #55 would nightly (or early morning) split at Brookfield MO, one loco forwarding the major portion of the train to Kansas City Union Station. The other E unit locomotive forwarded the through sleeper (6-4-6) and 50 seat coach, etc. to Saint Joseph, MO. The overnight eastbound would work in reverse with the two E units attached to each other elephant style for the run from Brookfield MO to Chicago. Hubert
