Pete - Thanks. There's so few of us left that genuinely remember the Q, and even fewer who were actually employed by the Q. My dad was a great story teller and had a world of operating knowledge and memories of both Lines East and West that dated from the late 1930s to the late 1960s, but very unfortunately went to the "big General Office Building in the sky" much too early at age 66. Having spent time as an assistant division superintendent at Omaha in the mid-1950s, dad certainly could've described train operations in exacting detail. Many of the names of operating officials mentioned in the Denver Zephyr text within BB No. 55 were all colleagues of my dad and I remember meeting them as a youth. But, too many cigarettes, fatty foods and high stress that lead to heart disease resulted in dad's ultimate undoing. Speaking as his son all these years later, I can testify to the fact that all middle and upper level operating officials on the Q spent their careers in a high pressure cooker working environment. May be some one will eventually come along who can tell us more about how dispatching and operations were handled between Lincoln and Omaha - Best Regards - Louis
