The Q did have swizzle sticks from the bar or club car. I have 2 different examples in my collection.
One has the Vista Dome car and the words "BULINGTON ROUTE" and came in different colors. The other example I have has the letters "DZ" on the top or end of the swizzle stick and the words "THE CHUCK WAGON" on the side. There are no manufacturer makings on the
sticks.
I don't know what other examples there are but would be interesting in knowing what they used throughout the years. The ones I have were from the 1960's when I took the DZ from Chicago to Denver to visit my brother and his family.

Not to do with the DZ and CZ per se but one thing that has always caught my eye are the Burlington Route Budd Dome swizzle sticks.
They look to have been molded by Nosco Plastics. At least they have the same look as the Nosco N Scale-size dime store wind-up “Zippy Zephyr” and the Cracker Jack prize Dome Cars.

The ones I have are fairly simple: CZ and DZ in Zephyr Gothic atop different colored plastic sticks. I'll have to locate my collection to see if there are others, but I don't recall any.

Did the Q have any distinctive swizzle sticks? (preferably from the 50's) I've looked for them on eBay over a period of time without luck. The Santa Fe and Great Northern had some
cool-looking ones, and the Union Pacific had a really neat Domeliner stick in the shape of a passenger train. I'm just looking to add a little ambiance to my weekend Gin and Tonics!
Thanks,
