Well, I know were on that trip so it must be the one I remember because there was only one That I remember that had a latrine car!

BTW, the car was not a heavyweight Pullman....a Budd car maybe Silver Gladiola???

... the car might show up in somebody’s photos.

Charlie,

The very last 4960 and CB&Q fan trip that went to Denrock had such a car. Here is a copy of the General Agent's letter describing the consist with that notation for the heavyweight Pullman car.

All-

One of the 4960 Fantrips had a CB&Q Budd Pullman car of some forgotten configuration and name that the wags from the Illinois Tech Model Railroad Club (possibly originating from BRHS members the late great Joe Legner or maybe Pat Egan)  the “SILVER COMMODE” because it was included to supply relief facilities, probably on one of the trips that primarily had gallery cars in the consist.
